[Bacula-users] HP Store Ever MSL 1/8 autocharger LTO-8
Dear all, I need to build a backup system and I would like to use Bacula. My project involves an HP Store Ever MSL 1/8 library with an LTO-8 fiber channel drive. The Bacula server will be an HP Proliant DL380 Gen8 running Almalinux 8 or 9. My idea is to have automatic tape management with Bacula sending the tape change command when needed, and the library identifying the correct cartridge using the barcode. Do you think Bacula can handle all of this with the hardware I have specified? Thanks a lot Best Regards Enrico ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Re: [Bacula-users] HP Store Ever MSL 1/8 autocharger LTO-8
What do you think about MSL 2040 instead of MSL 1/8 ? Are there the same
autochager
capabilities ?
>From Bacula point of view is the same device ?
Bye

[Bacula-users] Bacula 15.0.2 and Baculum 11.0
Dear all, Can you tell me if Baculum version 11.0 is compatible with Bacula 15.0.2 ? Is there a newer version of Baculum ? Thanks a lot Best Regards -Willy- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula 15.0.2 and Baculum 11.0
Dear Rob, thanks for your reply. I'll try Bacularis because it seems to be under development; it has got a repository for RPM and DEB and is well documented.

[Bacula-users] Tar block size
Dear all,
I've been using bacula v. 15.0.2 for a few weeks. I also installed
Bacularis v. 3.2. My server has a LTO8, this drive works much better if I
change the block size ("-b 512").
I would like to modify the bacula-sd.conf file like this:
Device {
...
ArchiveDevice = "/dev/nst1 -b 512"
}
What do you think?
Many thanks
-Willy-
