Kern:
Thanks for the pointers. I absolutely understand why can’t provider support,
and I appreciate any help you can give.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure the MediaType is my answer. I do have two
auto-changers configured. (One’s for local backups, one if for off-site
backups.) Each auto-changer has a unique Media Type.
I just tried Martin Simmons’ suggestion of adding “Autochanger = yes” to the
bacula-dir.conf storage stanza. I will know on Friday night if that was indeed
the answer, but it certainly looks promising. Assuming this is supposed to
work, and I’m getting the same problem on two different installations, missing
something like that certainly seems like a reasonable explanation.
I didn’t include the full config files in an effort to keep my original post
from getting too long. My apologies. I’ve pulled some of the configuration
out into separate files in an effort to keep my config files more manageable.
I’m happy to provider more if it would be helpful. My bacula-sd.conf is as
follows:
