I have answered in detail below but the label and other commands are complaining that /tmp/backup do not exist. You do mention that it exists but is your SD on a different server to the director? /tmp/backup needs to exist on the SD server. My other thought is that you need to ensure that /tmp/backup is a directory and not a regular file.

The autolabelling > seems to work as Bacula says that the label succeeded (Bacula says: > "20-jui 12:24 Olivier-dir: Created new Volume "BaculaDVD0004" in > catalog.")... I'll answer this to improve your understanding but I don't think it is relevant to your problem (see below) It will not get confused because once the label command has completed it will find a labelled volume (just like if you tried to append to an existing volume) and all will come out in the wash. That is the theory anyway and I'm fairly sure that it works but I haven't tried it for a while. > > I tried to run a job, then when Bacula asks me to mount the volume on > the device (after having labelled it automatically), I label again.

Does /tmp/backup exist and is it writable by bacula?
