hey fellas, have been using bacula for over 4 years now, great neat powerful!
i come across two issues with bacula, that i think can be taken care of on bacula level, which are not implemented yet (or i am not aware of them): 1. using a tape library, sometimes issue arise when bacula have loaded a tape from the slot, then, some idiot (generally help desk people) put a new tape into the same slot, where tape that in the drive used to be. This causing a problem, as bacula insisting on unloading the tape into the slot where it took it. Since it is already full, it fails and all jobs fail as a result. There should be a way for bacula to check if slot is taken, get the next available slot to unload tape. 2. having over 6 pools with 20-30dlt tapes, sometimes issue arise (there is no way to keep up with proper schedule as delivery people always fail): there are tapes (volumes) with status append in the pool available and they are in the tape library, however bacula seem to purge tape that has expiration date in the past, and insist on using that tape first, if that tape not in the library, bacula will wait for the tape it wants. I think bacula should look at the AL tapes that available in pool for current job, and if it is not in the library at the moment, move to the next available tape. does any one else ran into similar situation with large bacula implementation ?
