Not sure but i just searched the PDF manual for "OfflineOnUnmount" and found nothing...

You would think this would be so simple, I mean everyone must want this?

Seems to me none of this is necessary. Is there some reason that
AlwaysOpen = no and OfflineOnUnmount = yes or something similar would
not work? Or does AlwaysOpen not actually unmount, just release the tape?

An Admin job is another job type (see the docs).  I have an admin job 
that is scheduled with a priority of '1' that runs before any other 
scheduled job.  I also have several admin jobs with a priority greater 
then '100' that run after my backups.

Kevin is right, you probably should do a release instead of an unmount.  
Below is an admin job definition that is running on a windows director.  
All it does in call a script that releases the tape.

##########################
# ReleaseTape
##########################
Job {
  Name    = ReleaseTape
  Type    = Admin
  Level    = Full
  Client    = comp-fd
  Fileset    = None
  Messages    = Standard
  Schedule    = Daily_Backup
  Pool    = Tape-daily
  Spool Data= ""
  Priority    = 101
  RunBeforeJob = "\"c:/program files/bacula/bin/adminjob.cmd\" ReleaseTape"
}

Hi Keith,

I run an admin job before my run, and after.  I have an autoloader, 
but I think you should be able to do the same.  Possibly have the 
first admin job do a
echo 'mount quit' | bconsole

and the last job do a
echo 'unmount quit' |bconsole
mt -f device eject
        
Are you running this as a before job in bacula or with cron?

Thanks

Hi,

My Bacula server is about 40 miles away and I rely on normal users 
to change tapes each day (iv trained them well!). However each day I 
am having to login to bconsole and type mount then select LTO-3 and 
then after the job has finished I have to login again and umount 
LTO-3 and then exit bconsole and type "mt eject" so it spits the 
tape out.

Is there any way I can automate this process? So they can just put a 
tape in bacula will mount it do the backup umount and eject the tape 
after it has finished doing the backup.


Many Thanks
