-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, It sounds to me like you are trying to force an Autochanger, which is a Bacula device that typically works with physical tape autochangers to work with USB keys. While this is possible (example disk-changer, virtual-changer), you need to either use an existing script or you need to understand the details of the Autochanger implementation. There are two other possibilities: 1. The Bacula built-in virtual autochanger that has been discussed on this list a number of times, and rejected by a number of people, but it does work in large production environments. 2. Bacula is sufficiently smart to know if a mounted device does not have the volume it wants (e.g. a USB key), and it will happily search the mounted volume for existing Volumes or create a new one if you configure it correctly. Other people on this list should be able to help you with those possibilities.

It has no problem to run a backup job and back data directly on to USB device except "Autochanger" setting. I was trying to configure "Autochanger" to swap USB drives automatically for data backup in order that I need not to manual exchange and mount HDD when one HDD is full. >> >> I got below errors when trying below commands. >> >> #Bacula is running as root >> [root@backupsys bacula]# /etc/bacula/mtx-changer /etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf list >> /etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf is not an sg device, or old sg driver >> >> [root@backupsys bacula]# su bacula /etc/bacula/mtx-changer /etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf list >> cannot open SCSI device '/etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf' - Permission denied >> >> Also tried to run bacula as ID bacula but failed too >> >> > > Testing this stuff is hard. So i wrote about it. Rather than start a long back and forth discussion, I suggest you follow what I did and raise a question when something I did doesn?t work for you. > > http://www.freebsddiary.org/tape-library.php > http://www.freebsddiary.org/tape-library-integration.php > > Hope that gets you going. > > It is all permissions.
