Perhaps you need polling? Try setting "Volume Poll Interval". The
following works for me:
AutomaticMount = yes
Volume Poll Interval = 5 minutes
AlwaysOpen = yes
Offline on Unmount = yes
Close on Poll = yes
This also makes bacula eject tapes when it wants a new one. Careful -
AlwaysOpen means that you MUST NOT eject the tape manually, even if
the drive does allow it (mine does) - umount the tape from bacula
(console) instead.
If you run backups late in the evening, you'll probably want to change
tapes before that. To avoid manual intervention, run a small dummy job
to the same tape earlier.
Btw: I'm using 1.39.22. If you have < 1.38, better upgrade.
