Hi,
I think this setting is not good "Media Type = Ultrium-LTO3".
I have this in my setup: " Media Type = LTO-3".
Media type is irrelevant, and you can choose any value for it. If I were
to call my LTO-3 tapes "Grey Bricks" then bacula would happily write to
them.
As John explained, Bacula doesn't care at all about the media type or
drive type, it treats them all the same, and it does NOT derive any info
from the values you choose.
The only reason you want to use something like "LTO-3" or "Ultrium-LTO3"
is so the config will make sense to *you.*

Objet : [Bacula-users] Who is right about the tape size: Bacula or the
tapeloader??
Hi,
we are using a Tandberg autchanger with eight LTO3 tapes, which could save
400/800 GB of data.
Herre is the definition of the device in bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = Drive-1
Media Type = Ultrium-LTO3
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Spool Directory = /var/spool/bacula
Maximum Spool Size = 100G
Maximum Block Size = 65536
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
}
and one of the volume definitions:
Pool {
Name = Mittwoch
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 8 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 800G
Maximum Volumes = 2
Maximum Volume Jobs = 18
RecyclePool = Mittwoch
}
But no matter which tape we use, after 240 - 250 GB of data Bacula want's us to
change the tape, because it is reported as full.
How can we find out whether Bacula or the Tapeloader uses the wrong size for
the tapes?
Thanks for any hints or suggestions,
Stefan
