Hi rory Thanks for your prompt response. I looked at the link you just provided when I was setting up Bacula. Just a bit more information, when I was labelling the volumes, Bacula was not auto-labelling any of the tapes so I had to simulate the barcodes by following the steps in "Simulating Barcodes in your Autochanger" in the link you provided. My volumes are listed as Volume1, Volume2, Volume3 ... Volume8 now. Please forgive my ignorance on the subject, because I could write to a specific volume I assume labelling this way is correct?
I am not really getting any changer command errors I suspect I have missed something in the bacula-dir.conf file (perhaps the volume retention period?). Following is my configuration (mostly modified the default bacula-dir.conf) # # Default Bacula Director Configuration file # # The only thing that MUST be changed is to add one or more # file or directory names in the Include directive of the # FileSet resource. # # For Bacula release 5.0.1 (24 February 2010) -- redhat # # You might also want to change the default email address # from root to your address.
