Hi, folks,
I'm relatively new to bacula, but experienced with a number of other backup
programs (so, none of the concepts involved in running bacula are particularly
foreign to me). My primary purpose in installing and running bacula is to
archive some 2TB of data we've got stored. I'm running a single Dell Ultrium
LTO-3 (400/800GB) drive, no autoloader, under RHEL 4.
I've been googling for answers since last night, in addition to going over the
docs with a fine-tooth comb, and I'm not making any headway.
Here's my problem. The first tape swap (at about 420GB) worked just fine. Per
the docs, I unmounted the current tape, inserted a new one, labelled it, and
*whee*, off we go for another two and a half days of writing. Over this past
weekend, tape #2 filled. Sunday afternoon, I got an 'Intervention required'
email:
14-Jan 16:32 srv01-sd: Job BackupFileStore.2007-01-08_17.07.02 waiting. Cannot
find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "DellUltrium" (/dev/nst0)
Media type: LTO-3
Pool: Default
... followed shortly thereafter by an error email:
14-Jan 17:09 srv01-dir: BackupFileStore.2007-01-08_17.07.02 Error:
message.c:483 Mail program terminated in error.
CMD=/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f "(Bacula) [EMAIL PROTECTED]" -s
"Bacula: Backup Fatal Error of srv01-fd Full" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ERR=Child died from signal 15: Termination
... and no further intervention mails.
Yesterday was my first opportunity to get to the colo facility in which these
devices sit, and I tried another tape swap - first, unmounted the tape in the
drive, ejected it, inserted a new tape, labelled it 'xRaid1_3' (following the
naming convention I'd established for the first two tapes, 'xRaid1' and
'xRaid1_2'), and mounted it.
There's been no activity since then, no data has been written to the new tape.
I'm being told the job's not running:
*status jobid=9
JobId 9 is not running.
Storage status shows me this:
*status storage=Ultrium

HELP! I'd really rather not restart this job if I don't have to ('6 days of
archiving wasted' != 'conducive to low stress levels'). I've unmounted and
remounted this tape, with no change.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
