Hi Y'all, We're running bacula 5.0.0 on CentOS 6. Been working just fine until recently we saw a weird glitch. We have a Dell ML6000 tape library (with two tape drives) that holds 39 LTO-5 tapes. We're backing up hundreds of terabytes of static data in a series of 10TB "Full" jobs. I loaded

Hi Y'all, I'm looking for a little advice on a setup I have here. I have 300TB of non-changing data that I need to archive. I have a Dell ML6000 tape library that holds like 41 LTO-5 tapes (connected to a CentOS 6 Server), and I have a pile of hundreds of tapes to do this job with. So, I was

2012-02-29 Thread Erich Weiler
Hey Y'all, So I have a Dell ML6010 tape library that holds 41 LTO-5 tapes, all barcoded with labels from the manufacturer. I want to use bacula to back up our dataset, and I've not used bacula before and am sorting through the documentation to get things set up. I have a few questions I was
