Hello ! Since we just bought new tapes, I want to do it the right way now: i want to know when I started using each tape, and how many times a tape was written.
I know there is a field in bacula 'InitialWrite', but this isn't the datetime a media is taken in use for the first time, it is exact the same as FirstWritten (so it changes with every job). I talked with Kern about this on the buglist but this field isn't ment like this. So, as far as I know, there is no automated (or manual) way in Bacula to determine how many times a volume as been written and since when volume was taken first in use. Does anybody addresses this feature with seperate scripts (for example with an 'BeforeJob' or 'AfterJob') ? How do you people know or determine when tapes are worn out? Thnx!
