I was looking into making queries for a particular file in a Bacula Postgres

Is it possible to run the catalog backup during the day, by hand?

Hi,
I hate to reply to my own mail, but does nobody have an idea about
what I'm trying to do? ;)
If not, I'll submit an feature request. Because I think it is more
important to limit the number of concurent jobs on the drives, than on
the changer.

Hi Julien,
this tapes were empty when I added the EOT.
To explain:
I made a full backup to tape mba022, added the EOT and wrote an inc in a
different pool (for example tape mba056). This was working. The next inc
to tape mba056 failed.

You can switch EOT model only when starting from scratch with empty
tapes, so that's normal ...

Hi all,
I have a Tapeloader with 2 drives and a backupserver with a huge spool
directory.
Now I thought it would be nice to schedule the different drives and the
time when it spools to have allways a maximum on network load and keep
the time which is needed for the backup as short as possible.
Hi all,
sine I have added the Paramters:
BSFatEOM = yes;
TWOEOF = yes;
OfflineonUnmount = yes;
the system reports the error: The number of files mismatch!
It is every time only one file. For Example:
Volume=3 Catalog=4 or
Volume=350 Catalog=351
