Hi

I'm busy setting up my bacula to write to tape.  The problem I've come 
across now is that it seems to take forever to do so and it takes more 
then 1 tape.

What happens is I've got spooling enabled.  When the backup runs it 
spools machine A, writes machine A to tape, spools machine B, writes 
machine B to tape.  I understand that you can't write concurrent backups 
to tape.  How can I get my bacula to spool *everything* before it writes 
to tape?

I want this:  spool machine A, B and C, write machine A, B and C to tape.



This is my setup:

bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
   Name = "PowerVault114T"
   Archive Device = "/dev/nst0"
   Device Type = "Tape"
   Media Type = "LTO-3"
   Autochanger = No
   #Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error /dev/nst0'"
   Always Open = Yes
   Removable media = Yes
   Random access = No
   Spool Directory = "/backups/spool"
}

bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {
   Name = Tape
   Address = cj-cpt-backup01.careerjunction.local
   SDPort = 9103
   Password = "Cv70F6pf1t6pBopT4vQOnigDrR0v3LT3Cgkiyj"
   Device = "PowerVault114T"
   Media Type = "LTO-3"
   Autochanger = no
}
