Hello, I am trying to set up bacula to backup our company's desktop systems. The system I'm running bacula on has two eSATA docks. We'd like to back files up to drives in the eSATA docks, and be able to remove each drive and store it powered off once it's full. So, I've settled on bacula+vchanger as the most appropriate solution for our needs (Retrospect does what we need, too, but it's slow, unwieldy, and I believe even harder than bacula to extract individual files from a backup).
I am currently testing with two hard drives that I have added to my vchanger configuration (set up with autofs mounting them using UUIDs as recommended by the vchanger HOWTO that's included with the source). I have only created 80GB partitions on them (to speed up the testing) and have told bacula and vchanger to create 4 19GB volumes. Yesterday before I left the office, I started a job and saw that it was writing to the first volume on the first drive. When I got to work today, I found that the backup had failed after only completing about 300MB. When I tried to inspect the drives, I found that I couldn't even mount the first drive. I rebooted and was able to mount the drive, however now vchanger doesn't show any magazines when I run the listmags command. I have created several pastebins with relevant information: commands tried and their output: http://pastebin.com/0bFNcBhF bacula-dir.conf: http://pastebin.com/b2iq9TsP bacula-sd.conf: http://pastebin.com/qJE6kLPw bacula-fd.conf: http://pastebin.com/CprDnrz1 vchanger.conf: http://pastebin.com/J2RgzWDk Thanks for your help!
