Hi Brian,

I tried the sql thing to start with... and got the following :


*sql
Entering SQL query mode.
Terminate each query with a semicolon.
Terminate query mode with a blank line.
Enter SQL query: SELECT MediaId,VolumeName,VolStatus FROM Media WHERE 
VolumeName='wednesday';
+---------+------------+-----------+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus |
+---------+------------+-----------+
|            3 | wednesday  | Full      |
+---------+------------+-----------+
Enter SQL query:

It would appear its full... I wonder why Bacula is not recycling it??

Thanks for your help!

Keith

I got one like that Monday, I manually purged the volume, and then 
moved it to the scratch pool, and then issued a mount.  Do this only 
if you are sure this tape is supposed to be recycled.   ** Please 
don't purge a tape you needed. :) **

you can purge using
*purge volume=YourVolumeName

You can check its status like this
*sql
SELECT MediaId,VolumeName,VolStatus FROM Media WHERE VolumeName='your 
tape label';

Hi guys,
I am sure I have the right tape in the drive, yet its giving me the 
following error?? Could this be down to a tape that's full? I have 
recycle enabled though?? This is puzzling me... and I badly need to 
get a backup done!
This is the error:
30-Jul 23:00 bacula-sd: Job bacula-fd.2008-07-30_23.00.00 waiting. 
Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "LTO-3" (/dev/nst0)
    Media type:   LTO-3
    Pool:         wed-pool
        

This is a pretty basic part of using Bacula. Have you read the manual?
If so, let someone know where it is you are lost so we can start there.
