Well, they are related in my head at least :-) I wiped all the labels on my tapes and did "label barcodes" and everything seems to have gone fine and they all got added to the default pool.
Except for 2 tapes. 000006L4 and 000100L4 The latter I can understand because it is a cleaning tape. So I'm poking around to try to figure out how to deal with cleaning tapes and I see "Cleaning Prefix". I don't have a barcode with a special prefix on that tape (though I can look to see whether I have one if that simplifies things), but this page suggests I can just put the whole barcode into the pool definition and be done http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Autochanger_Resource.html So I did that but I"m not sure how to tell whether or not that did anything (I did restart services after adding it) Pool { Name = Default Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 31 days Purge Oldest Volume = yes Maximum Volumes = 24 JobRetention = 90 days FileRetention = 60 days CleaningPrefix = 000100L4 } Also there is the matter of the other tape, which is in slot 8. I am not sure why it did not get added. Now I'd like to manually add it to the pool but when I use the "add" command it gives me some odd options which don't seem to make sense. What the heck does "Enter Base Volume Name" mean? I want it to keep the name it has, I don't want a new name. *add You probably don't want to be using this command since it creates database records without labeling the Volumes. You probably want to use the "label" command.
