We have the same setup, running on Debian. The first things to do are:
* check that you can get your server and library/drive to communicate. you can do that with mtx and mt eg mtx -f /dev/sg4 status eg mt -f /dev/nst0 status * test your setup with btape http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/utility/utility/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION00291000000000000000 * configure the Bacula Storage Daemon our Storage Daemon has the folling excerpts that might be relevant to you: Autochanger { Name = PV-124T Device = LTO4-Drive1 Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg4 } Device { Name = LTO4-Drive1 Drive Index = 0 Media Type = LTO4 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; AutoChanger = yes # The following spool directives come after discussions on the bacula list and # with reference to http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg36340.html # Also see http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html#11812 etc Maximum File Size = 5G Maximum Spool Size = 260G Maximum Job Spool Size = 100G # will need this is there are concurrent jobs Spool Directory = /tapehold Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'" } However please be very wary of just copying these entries. You should read the manual and setup Bacula to meet your specific requirements.
