It works the other way round. Bacula decides which tape to use upon seeing which tapes are available. So you should 1. configure the tape's retention parameters so that Bacula knows it may use the tape 2. load the tape into the changer and update slots 3. let Bacula decide to use that tape. If step 3 fails, you've done something wrong in step 1. :-) HTH T. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
