Hello all, I've recently deployed Bacula in our server room to backup 9 FreeBSD/ OpenBSD/Windows 2003 servers. I am very pleased.
Bacula runs on a server dedicated to it, connected to an ADIC Scalar 100 LTO tape library. Backups have been running smoothly now for a couple months, and test restores also worked. I am running 2.2.6 from ports on FreeBSD 6.2. I have successfully run btape on this drive with the settings below. We filled up our first tape (KHA002L1) and have now just about finished our second tape (KHA003L1). It occoured to me that the last time I did a test restore it was off KHA002L1 while we were still writing to it. So I decided to ask Bacula to restore files off KHA002L1 while KHA003L1 was loaded, to make sure that the autochanger was up to the job. Thankfully the autochanger loaded the tape properly, but now Bacula won't recognize the label. I get this error: 17-Dec 22:18 backup-sd JobId 362: Warning: acquire.c:242 Requested Volume "KHA002L1" on "Drive0" (/dev/nsa0) is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:1008 Read zero bytes at 0:0 on device "Drive0" (/dev/nsa0). I can confirm that KHA002L1 is actually loaded into the drive with this command (I used "label barcodes", so the barcode labels match the Bacula labels): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# chio status -v | grep KHA002L1 drive 0: <FULL> voltag: <KHA002L1:0> To reiterate - I was able to restore files from this tape (KHA002L1) before it was full. Now all of a sudden I can't. I am currently writing to KHA003L1 and have tested restores off it successfully. But when I move to the next tape will I start to have problems with this tape? Here are the logs ####################################### ## BEGIN Restore from KHA002L1 ####################################### 22-Dec 11:59 backup-dir JobId 404: Start Restore Job RestoreFiles. 2007-12-22_11.59.09 22-Dec 11:59 backup-dir JobId 404: Using Device "Drive0" 22-Dec 11:59 backup-sd JobId 404: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 4, drive 0" command. 22-Dec 12:01 backup-sd JobId 404: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 3, drive 0" command. 22-Dec 12:02 backup-sd JobId 404: 3305 Autochanger "load slot 3, drive 0", status is OK. 22-Dec 12:02 backup-sd JobId 404: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command. 22-Dec 12:02 backup-sd JobId 404: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 3. 22-Dec 12:02 backup-sd JobId 404: Warning: acquire.c:242 Requested Volume "KHA002L1" on "Drive0" (/dev/nsa0) is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:1008 Read zero bytes at 0:0 on device "Drive0" (/dev/nsa0). 22-Dec 12:03 backup-sd JobId 404: Warning: acquire.c:242 Requested Volume "KHA002L1" on "Drive0" (/dev/nsa0) is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:1008 Read zero bytes at 0:0 on device "Drive0" (/dev/nsa0). 22-Dec 12:03 backup-sd JobId 404: Please mount Volume "KHA002L1" or label a new one for: Job: RestoreFiles.2007-12-22_11.59.09 Storage: "Drive0" (/dev/nsa0) Pool: Default Media type: LTO-1 22-Dec 12:06 backup-sd JobId 404: Job RestoreFiles.2007-12-22_11.59.09 marked to be canceled. 22-Dec 12:06 backup-sd JobId 404: acquire.c:191 Job 404 canceled. 22-Dec 12:06 backup-dir JobId 404: Bacula backup-dir 2.2.6 (10Nov07): 22-Dec-2007 12:06:04 Build OS: i386-portbld-freebsd6.2 freebsd 6.2-RELEASE-p9 JobId: 404 Job: RestoreFiles.2007-12-22_11.59.09 Restore Client: backup.DOMAINNAME.com-fd Start time: 22-Dec-2007 11:59:49 End time: 22-Dec-2007 12:06:04 Files Expected: 914 Files Restored: 0 Bytes Restored: 0 Rate: 0.0 KB/s FD Errors: 0 FD termination status: Canceled SD termination status: Canceled Termination: Restore Canceled 22-Dec 12:06 backup-dir JobId 404: Begin pruning Jobs. 22-Dec 12:06 backup-dir JobId 404: No Jobs found to prune. 22-Dec 12:06 backup-dir JobId 404: Begin pruning Files. 22-Dec 12:06 backup-dir JobId 404: No Files found to prune. 22-Dec 12:06 backup-dir JobId 404: End auto prune. ####################################### ##
