[Bacula-users] bacula-fd not updating state file?

Hi all, I noticed today that after running a few days worth of backups, the bacula-fd running on the backup server is not updating the .state file When I do a status of the client in bconsole, it doesn't return any list of 'Terminated Jobs', like the other clients do. Does anyone have

Re: [Bacula-users] Restore tape data after eof

Heitor, The only thing that I can think to try is 'dd'. That might be able to read beyond an EOF mark to copy the tape image to disk. Once you have it to disk you might be able to use 'dd' or 'vi' to manipulate the data blocks in such a way as to construct a new file that bscan or bacula can re

Re: [Bacula-users] Don't understant recycling and Scratch pool

In fact, my initial configuration was not correct. The RecyclePool=Scratch directive must be specified in the Scratch pool section. If I purge a tape, it is automatically moved to the Scratch pool. But the tape is never moved to the Scratch pool after a retention period. I have to purge it manually

The problem is that the variable RecyclePoolId is not set for the media. If I execute "update volume" for all the volumes of the pool, the RecyclePoolId field is well set, and recycling works fine It seems there is a bug... --

Hi there, I'm having issues with my bacula setup running out of appendable media. I'm currently backing up to 'filestorage'. I have about 15 clients I'm trying to backup. Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm missing here. I kind of am thinking that I need to label more media, but I'm not
