You seem to be trying to install the el3 i386 rpm onto a CentOS5(el5)

I'd recommend you first try and locate the correct rpm for your OS and

2) Full Job 234 runs and does a full backup of /tmp/bacula-test/dir1

However this is a known bug with some of the earlier 2.x versions of

Basically, the problem is *when* the verify job chooses the last
successful backup to verify. With th

result in Bacula overwriting all existing data on the tape tho so make

"Maximum Volume Bytes" on the other hand will do what you want as once a Volume

Hi,
Does your autochanger normally change tapes OK? Has it definitely worked

Bacula looks for the appendable volume with the lowest media ID which is
why it asked for the one it did.
As you pointed out tho, it should be preferring volumes with inchanger =

The selection mode should build it's own bootstrap file, containing only
