Re: [Bacula-users] tape label

I've also posted on this same issue several times now. I haven't had any luck. Here are my configs related to the problem described in this post:

This volume was migrated onto a tape labeled 000101 via barcode:

JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = sitbackup-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = sitbackup-pool
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = "Client1"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Write Bootstrap = "/etc/bacula/bin/working/Client1.bsr"
}
FileSet {
Name = "Full Set"
Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
    }
    File = /etc/bacula/bin
}
Exclude {
}
}
Client {
Name = sitbackup-fd
Address = sitbackup
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "blo0dyg0od"          # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 1 day            # 1 day
Job Retention = 1 day             # 1 day
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Pool {
Name = sitbackup-pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
Next Pool = sitbackup-tape               # Added to migrate to tape
Volume Retention = 1 day
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 1
Storage = File
}
# Tape pool definition
Pool {
Name = sitbackup-tape
Pool Type = Backup
AutoPrune = yes
Recycle = yes
Storage = PV-132T
}
Job {
Name = "sitbackup-volume"
Type = Migrate
Level = Full
Client = sitbackup-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Messages = Standard
Pool = sitbackup-pool
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
Selection Type = Volume
Selection Pattern = "sitbackup"
}

This volume gives errors when trying to migrate:

JobDefs {
Name = "3mserver"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = 3mserver-fd
FileSet = "3mserver Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = 3mserver-pool
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = "3mserverclient"
JobDefs = "3mserver"
Write Bootstrap = "/etc/bacula/bin/working/3mserver.bsr"
}
FileSet {
Name = "3mserver Set"
Enable VSS = yes
Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
    }
    File = "c:/3m"
}
Exclude {
}
}
Client {
Name = 3mserver-fd
Address = 3mserver
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "blo0dyg0od"          # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 3 months            # 3 months
Job Retention = 3 months            # 3 months
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Pool {
Name = 3mserver-pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
Next Pool = 3mserver-tape               # Added to migrate to tape
Volume Retention = 3 months         # 3 months
Maximum Volume Bytes = 20000000000 # 20gb limit
Label Format = 3mserver-
Maximum Volumes = 2
Storage = File
}
# Tape pool definition
Pool {
Name = 3mserver-tape
Pool Type = Backup
AutoPrune = yes
Recycle = yes
Storage = PV-132T
}
Job {
Name = "3mserver-volume"
Type = Migrate
Level = Full
Client = sitbackup-fd
FileSet = "3mserver Set"
Messages = Standard
Pool = 3mserver-pool
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
Selection Type = Volume
Selection Pattern = "3mserver"
}

The errors are in my previous post referring to not being able find any appendable volumes. I know the five tapes I have labeled with "label barcodes" are indeed appendable and aren't even close to full. The single volume migrated so far was only 1.5gb. Each tape is capable of handling 400gb.

Lastly, I'll include my bacula-sd.conf portion with the autochanger resource:

Autochanger {
Name = "PV-132T"
Device = LTO-1,LTO-2
Changer Device = /dev/sg4
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}
#
# A Linux or Solaris tape drive
#
Device {
Name = LTO-1
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg4
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}

Device {
Name = LTO-2
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg4
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}

*This is pretty much my last effort in trying to do this with bacula. It is very powerful, there is mass documentation that is good, but none that I can find to get me on my way with migrating disk based backups to storage. I've already had to ditch a large disk volume and will need to continue doing this with other volumes unless I can figure this out. But I wish someone could help.*

Thank you.

Dear Giovanni,

In order to help you provide some more information, like your job and pool
resources and the entire error line in your job log.
