Re: [Bacula-users] spool directory

Alan, Glad to hear you figured it out! Those keys are very close to each other. It's an easy mistake to make. We are all human. You use slackware. It's linux on hard mode. I realize that I give a lot of detail in my messages, and sometimes specify information that is almost certainly unnecessary.

Re: [Bacula-users] spool directory

Rob et al: Thank you all for assistance. All I can say is that getting old is not  for the faint of heart. I used to be the person that handled unfixable errors: logic, syntax, spelling et al. My error was NOT the attach point, though for consistency I stayed with /media. As you get older, t

Re: [Bacula-users] spool directory

Thank you all for your responses. Since a differential backup is currently running I can't try out the suggestions,  but I think I have the answer as a result of all of them. The syntax I was using is correct, The problem is, I think, the lineage of the machine. I am a retired ancient programme

Alan, It occurred to me that my LTO8 drive's device entry from my bacula-sd.conf could be helpful. Here you go. Device { Name = "drive0" MediaType = "LTO-8" ArchiveDevice = "/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-1097013295-nst" RemovableMedia = yes RandomAccess = no AutomaticMount = yes AlwaysOpen

Re: [Bacula-users] spool directory

Alan, > Spool Directory /bacula/working If you entered the Spool Directory directive as you specified it in your email, then it is probably malformed. I believe the proper format is: Spool Directory *=* /bacula/working You will need to restart bacula-sd after adding the new directive to bacula-s

Re: [Bacula-users] Spool Directory 7.4.0

Dan, There are two types of SD spooling. Attribute spooling (info to be put in the catalog), which always goes to the working directory, and Data Spooling, which if enabled will go to the Spool Directory. I suspect that you were seeing the Attribute spooling in the working directory. Best reg
