Re: [Bacula-users] Copying backup "On the fly"

I may be missing something, but using smaller volume files should work for you. You would still need to transfer the entire job, but only the volumes that that job touched. So for example, instead of a 1G job appending to the end of a 10G volume, and having to send the entire 10G again, if y

Re: [Bacula-users] volume management & holidays

You can disable the media with an admin job. As soon as you do this the director does not want it anymore, until you enable it again. Another way around this is by having an extra weeks worth of tapes in rotation. Week 1 and Week 2. With a 1 week retention, one set of tapes is always expired

I am playing with disk volumes right now. I have a full pool set up to create volumes with 4G maximum volume size. I could set up a full pool that everything is written to, or I could set up a full pool per client, or set up a full pool based on some other criteria. Unless I would have some

There are 2 different mt programs. One is from cpio (i think), and the other is from the mt-st package. I think you are having problems detecting which mt you have. At the beginning of mtx-changer is a case function that sets the ready string for wait_for_drive. The newer mtx-changer script c
