OK, I have obviously found the manual at
http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/ but wow it does not seem to be
suited to someone who has no idea what they are doing here.   I've got
decades of Linux / UNIX experience but it has been many years since
I"ve had to deal with tapes, and this is my first time ever
configuring a jukebox

I've sorted out some things like using btape to test my jukebox.  That
went well overnight and looks good.

Now the next step in this doc says to try a small backup

http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/problems/problems/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html

OK great, but I need a tape storage pool for that.  It keeps wanting
to back up to files.

The "brief tutorial" seem to be a little too brief.  For example, the
"Creating a Pool" part does not actually tell me how to create a pool

http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/Brief_Tutorial.html#SECTION0011150000000000000000

This is all a little overwhelming.  Is there a better tutorial
somewhere to get me off the ground?

thanks,
-Alan
