On our Ubuntu system with the name "backup01" Bacula 5.2.5 is installed. The Baluca daemons bacula-dir, bacula-fd and bacula-sd run on this systems. The bacula daemon Bacula-fd (bacula file daemon) run also on a 35 numerical client systems. The bacula-sd on system backup01 create volumes files with a prefix and a number as suffix like "shares_0049" and fill them with backup data. As soon as the volume reached the size of 500GB automatic a new volume file is created with the same prefix and a new number as suffix like "shares_0057". This works correct. Now we installed on an other system with the name "apps08" also the bacula-sd (storage daemon). We configured Bacula on such a way that the backup volume of one Bacula client (with name ratelaar) is located on that (remote) system apps08. The bacula-sd on the system apps08 create indeed a volume file on system apps08 and fill it with backup data. However the name of the volume file on systems apps08 only consists of the prefix without a number as suffix. As soon as this volume file reached the size of 500GB no new volume file is created but we get an E-mail with the next content: Subject: Bacula: Intervention needed for rate_backup 06-Apr 18:49 apps08-sd JobId 25734: Job rate_backup.2014-04-06_01.00.01_00 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for: Storage: "backup_on_apps08" (/media/usb/backup) Pool: rate_doc Media type: File The whole backup of all clients stops (in the middle of the night) until we a "label" manually a new volume on system apps08. How can I configure Bacula on such a way that it autocratic create a new volume file (with a number as suffix) on system apps08 as soon as the current one is full? Below a (part) of bacula-dir.conf on system backuk01: Job { Name = rate_backup Type = Backup Level = Incremental Client = ratelaar-fd FileSet = documentation Schedule = standaard Storage = apps08 Pool = rate_doc Messages = Standard } Storage { Name = apps08 Password = eOVrYPlRbgfD6KHL6kUgqNe4knFVl6-W-I2 Address = 192.168.100.18 SDPort = 9103 Device = backup_on_apps08 Media Type = File Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } Below the "bacula-sd.conf" file on system apps08: Storage { Name = apps08-sd SDPort = 9103 WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula" Pid Directory = "/var/run/bacula" Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 SDAddress = 0.0.0.0 } Director { Name = apps08-dir Password = "eOVrYKof7A6mqwerUgqNe4knFVl6-W-I2" } Director { Name = backup01-dir Password = "eOVrYKof7A6mqwerUgqNe4knFVl6-W-I2" } Director { Name = apps08-mon Password = "shQEBQLcn8tgHjbDfcToCA9vfaZJNxsZp" Monitor = yes } Messages { Name = Standard director = apps08-dir = all } Device { Name = backup_on_apps08 Archive Device = /media/usb/backup Media Type = File LabelMedia = yes Maximum File Size = 500GB Random Access = yes AutomaticMount = yes RemovableMedia = no AlwaysOpen = no } Kind regards.
