I really don't understand this.
I can run a backup to a tape, using my 'Server' volume/pool. It completes.
It moves on to the next client, which belongs to the same volume/pool, and
then Bacula reports that there are no appendable volumes and that I should
use the label command to resolve this. The label command can't label
anything because the volume is already labeled. I purge the volume and try
to relabel it, but it's still 'already labeled' and cannot do it. I delete
the volume and try to label again and it's still 'already labeled'. My only
choice is to use the mt tool to rewind the tapes, which obviously doesn't do
me much good.
What am I missing here?
Here are the importants parts of bacula-dir.conf:
JobDefs {
Name = "Servers"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Schedule = "Servers"
Storage = DellDrive
Messages = Standard
Pool = Servers
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = "Leo"
JobDefs = "Servers"
Client = leo-fd
Fileset = Leo
Write Bootstrap = "/usr/local/bacula//%c_%n.bsr"
}
Job {
Name = "Cubert"
JobDefs = "Servers"
Client = cubert-fd
Fileset = Cubert
Write Bootstrap = "/usr/local/bacula//%c_%n.bsr"
}
Pool {
Name = Servers
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Storage = DellDrive
}
------------------------------------------
And bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = DellDrive
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = DLT-8000
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
LabelMedia = Yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = no;
}
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin Francesconi
