[Bacula-users] Use Import/Export slots of autochanger

Hi all, my question may be a vendor specific one or may be a mtx-changer question. My Quantum autochanger has 5 Import/Export slots, which basically are just better accessible tape slots. Mtx displays the slots as I/E slots. But tapes in those slots are not recognised by Bacula. See attached c

[Bacula-users] Concurrent spooling and despooling

That's maybe a stupid question, but I really wonder... Using Disk Spooling prior to write data to tape, heads in a sequential write order: a) write data from backup client to disk spool directory b) write data from spool directory to tape Why are those tasks done sequentially? Let's say if the

[Bacula-users] Dynamically assign volumes to pools

Hi all Just an idea of mine, let me know if this is possible or not. Let's say I have a huge autochanger with lots of space and lots of cartriges available. Let's also assume, that I have a uncontrollable data groth and I cannot (or I am too lazy to) predict the ammount of cartridges needed to

[Bacula-users] Quantum Scalar i40?

Sorry for x-posting, but mtx-changer ML seems to be very quiet. Did someone tried to use *Quantum Scalar i40* tape library with Bacula? Or does Quantum/ADIC have a standard interface for autochangers and I can be sure, that if the mtx-changer script is working for Scalar i500, it automatically

[Bacula-users] Possibility for two phase backups?

Dear list, I have a rather general question. Is it possible to do two phase or two pass backups with Bacula? That means I firstly want to back up a client over network to a disk array and on a second step put this backup to tape/autoloader. I do not only mean to use disk cache on the storage d
