Looks straightforward enough. > My questions are: > > - Does somebody know something about Bacula support for Dell Tape > Libraries? Will I be able to use all the features of my hardware?

It looks like that library can also be hooked up via SAS or FC, which I just haven't played around enough to say. The tape drive itself is pretty likely to work, so the only bit you might want to double check on is the changer device and barcode reader. As long as you can get the mtx program to talk to it, you should be fine. Dell is fairly cluefull about Linux, so you stand a pretty good chance of getting a useful answer direct from them. > - I will need to stop mysql slave before and restart it after backup.
