Good. I was about to point you to it :-) > I tried this out but it did not work because the pseudo changer using > /dev/null as Changer is not recognized by Bacula > (VER. 2.2.6) > > Have anyone tried out some script like this to manage this problem? did > it work? or do you have some Ideas how to make it work? Disclaimer: I have never personally used that approach... But I'm pretty sure that with some changes in Bacula since 2005, the script would need some work done. Mainly because Baculas way to select drives has been refined a lot, though this shouldn't matter in a situation where there exists only one device known to it. Regarding your current problem, I'd try using any /dev/sgX (linux terminology) device as the cahnger device in the configuration (though I don't see why /dev/null wouldn't work). You're not actually using this device, so no harm will be done. Currently, as I hevent't looked at Marios script in ages, I would suggest you read it carefully to understand how it's doing its work, and where things might fail. As stated above, I would expect some modifications to be required.
