Yes it is. I tested it with a "cat /tmp/fifo" and a simple program listening to that fifo. This is the relevant (as I understand it) part of bacula-sd.conf in my config: ---- Device { Name = FileStorage # Media Type = File Media Type = Fifo Device Type = fifo Archive Device = /tmp/fifo LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Random Access = no; AutomaticMount = no; # when device opened, read it RemovableMedia = no; AlwaysOpen = no; # Maximum Open Wait = 10; } ---- and in bacula-dir.conf I changed: ---- # Definition of file storage device Storage { Name = File # Do not use "localhost" here Address = muenchen-server # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here SDPort = 9103 Password = "..." Device = FileStorage Media Type = Fifo } ---- Everything else should be the standard example configuration as installed by bacula-2.0.2 Changing "LabelMedia = yes" to "no" doesn't help anything. Any idea what could go wrong? Thanks, Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
