Hi Guys, Posting here again after my previous blunder of posting under the Admin's post
In a nutshell - I can't get Bacula to do what I want it to do. Which is - Backup from various clients (windows and linux) on to a single tape (incremental) - Automatically pick the next tape when one gets filled - One (or two) dedicated tapes that can be taken offsite - Email alerts of various stages of the backups At present it seems when a tape gets filled it just sits there until I unmount it and mount a new tape (i guess something to do with the retention period?) a volume list returns the following: *list volume Pool: Default +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | 23 | LT1000L1 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | LTO3 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 24 | LT1001L1 | Recycle | 1 | 1 | 0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 1 | 1 | LTO3 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 25 | LT1006L1 | Append | 1 | 21,034,460,160 | 23 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 6 | 1 | LTO3 | 2010-11-06 18:23:33 | | 26 | LT1007L1 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 7 | 1 | LTO3 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 27 | LT1002L1 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 2 | 1 | LTO3 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 28 | LT1003L1 | Error | 1 | 378,286,884,864 | 381 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 3 | 1 | LTO3 | 2010-09-15 19:27:42 | | 29 | LT1004L1 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 4 | 1 | LTO3 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 30 | LT1005L1 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 31,536,000 | 1 | 5 | 1 | LTO3 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ Notice the Status of LT1003L1 is in Error - I can't seem to figure out how to rectify this I actually don't mind starting from scratch, I am happy to provide all my configs (Dir, FD, SD) if someone can take a look and advise what needs changing - or if someone has a config that does a similar job?. I don't want to give the impression I am looking for shotcuts but I really need to get this sorted, I've been trying for weeks and I work in an environment where everything is a priority [Rolling Eyes] Any help, advice will be appreciated - is it worth considering the enterprise edition?
