-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes. In fact, Bacula is more likely to use the wrong tape than the right one, in my experience... by "wrong" I mean "not what I intended." Bacula has a fairly sophisticated mechanism for determining what tape to use. Provided you have your pools defined properly for backups, I suspect that a tape in the scratch pool would do, if you set the scratch pool up.
One problem here though is that there is back and forth on whether to use the scratch pool before an available volume in the pool or not. I would argue that it should check the tape in the drive and if it's acceptable, run with it. You will not be able to re-use a wrong-labeled tape, however, I suspect. Anyways, that's a 50,000 mile view. Good luck! Gavin Conway wrote: > As the subject.
