Thanks.  I was considering using the PSEUDO JOB concept since there is a bacula-fd on the storage server.  However, I was wondering if I need to issue a RELEASE command to the DIRECTOR before rewinding and ejecting the tape.  When everything was on one system I essentially did a RELEASE, followed by a tape rewind and then eject.

Yes, but that should be run on the DIR machine using a console command.

RunScript {
    RunsWhen = before
    RunsOnClient = No
    console = "release storage=Whatever"
}

A RELEASE command does not necessarily close the device though. If the mt command blocks, then the UMOUNT command should be used instead of RELEASE. I'm not sure what the exact criteria is for when RELEASE can be used instead of UMOUNT.

Ana and Steven,

If you have a bacula-fd installed on the storage machine you can always use:

ClientRunBeforeJob = "mt -f /dev/st0 eject"

Unless it has changed, a Type=Admin job cannot execute scripts on the client machine. To run a script on a client as a "psuedo" admin job, define a second Type=Backup job for the SD that selects no files to backup and add the ClientRunAfterJob script to that job, scheduling/prioritizing the "psuedo" admin job to be the last job to run.

I also suggest redirecting stdXXX for the mt command and running it in the background.

RunScript {
    RunsWhen = After
    RunsOnClient = Yes
    Command = "/usr/local/bin/bacula-eject.sh"
}

#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/bin/my-eject.sh on the SD machine
mt -f /dev/st0 eject >/var/log/bacula/eject.log 2>&1 < /dev/null &
# eof

Hi Steven,

Maybe this could help you:

RunAfterJob = "ssh user@yourstoragedaemonhost mt -f /dev/st0 eject"

It´s defined on the last backup job.

Regards,

Ana

I had a script that ran after the last job that would release, rewind,
and eject the tape.  It worked great.  However, I've rebuilt the server
and now have the STORAGE DAEMON and DIRECTOR on two separate servers.
Any ideas how can now eject the tape on the storage server after the
last job runs on the director?
