I am really at the end of my rope, and have the same question that seems to get asked (but not answered, like this person: http://bacula.10910.n7.nabble.com/newbie-problem-labeling-adding-tapes-to-pool-td58780.html)
I have a bacula system 7.0, and a set of new tapes. I try to label the tapes one at a time, which seems to work. I called them Vol00-01, Vol00-02, etc. They then come back in the catalog as Vol01-01, Vol01-02, etc. I think they do this as I had the Auto label set to one, and they got labeled. Now when I do list media, I see nothing. I can not get it to recognize any of my blank tapes. I would like to try to sort of blow away my database or its current memory of what I have and start over. Does anyone know a good short FAQ on how to: Delete the current catalog, media, pools Relabel all of my current tapes (they are new and blank, but I think they have a label) Add them to a pool Get them to show up as media Here is some current output, and it is incorrect int hat it thinks the volume names are one thing, but the labels are different, and nothing shows up under pools: *status slots Automatically selected Storage: File1 Connecting to Storage daemon File1 at localhost:9103 ... 3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
