good day all, i'm working thru getting backups working on my new library, i labled 10 tapes in the library from inside bconsole using barcodes, i put them all into the scratch pool:
Pool: Scratch +---------+------------+-----------+---------+----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+-------------+ | mediaid | volumename | volstatus | enabled | volbytes | volfiles | volretention | recycle | slot | inchanger | mediatype | lastwritten | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+-------------+ | 1 | 002048L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 2 | 1 | LTO4 | | | 2 | 002047L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 3 | 1 | LTO4 etc .... when i try and run a backup using the scratch pool via the command line: Run Backup job JobName: Client1 Level: Full Client: molbio-fd FileSet: Full Set Pool: Scratch (From Job resource) Storage: LTO4 (From Job resource) When: 2007-11-29 10:16:59 Priority: 10 OK to run? (yes/mod/no): yes Job queued. JobId=7 i get: 29-Nov 10:17 molbio-dir JobId 7: Start Backup JobId 7, Job=Client1.2007-11-29_10.17.11 29-Nov 10:17 molbio-dir JobId 7: Using Device "LTO4" 29-Nov 10:17 molbio-sd JobId 7: Job Client1.2007-11-29_10.17.11 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for: Storage: "LTO4" (/dev/nst0) Pool: Scratch Media type: Ultrium-4 all though all volumes in scratch pool are listed as appendable. i must be misunderstanding the use of the scratch pool, i understood that bacula would select volumes as needed from it. my bacula version is: *version molbio-dir Version: 2.2.5 (09 October 2007) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu redhat is my approach to this incorrect? -- michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
