I had the same problem. Looking at the docs it appears that to enable automatic volume creation you need to use the "Label Format" directive in your pool(s) and it seems to me to get the proper creation of unique names you have to not use variables in the name to get the auto numbering. I tried it and it appears to work with something like Label Format = "Vol" Which creates Vol001, Vol002, and so on. But the docs say this is deprecated and we should use the python scripting. Seems like a god idea as I really want the job name in the volume name too. So I removed the "Label Format" directive, added a "Scripts Directory" directive to the Director, copied the examples to /etc/ bacula/scripts,made some minor edits to reflect my chosen naming convention and restarted bacula, but they don't appear to be run as I dont see anything in the logs, and the volume names are not auto created. Any idea what I am doing wrong? thanks charles ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
