Please...what is it asking for?
I'm only trying to get the first tape going. Another poster said use
purge & relabel, once again theres something you need to know before you
can even do that.
It looks like it won't do anything until I give it
e this before even the basics get going. Perhaps
bacula isn't geared towards one off runs like I'm trying?

from 2006 disk based backups.

1. Why can't I use my tape? I don't care whats
The example job to back up the source to /tmp ran ok a few days ago when
I was setting up bacula but its running every night now. Whats the
correct way to stop this please? I'm worried if I just delete the job in
the conf file it will break something. Thanks.

I followed the docs to the point where the daemons are ok, the tape
tests fine with btape test and the example of backing up and restoring
to the /tmp dir using the File Fileset worked. I now find changes to
bacula-dir.conf have no effect (yes, I always ./bacula restart). Could

Thanks, and that will be great for running it. But I'm more concerned
about the build. will ./configure --with-mysql work with no
Is this possible? There is a dedicated MySQL server on the LAN which
isn't the same as the one which will run bacula (with the tape in).
I built and ran it fine on my home server and noticed it pulling in the
MySQL headers etc, but that server hosted everything (RH6).
