Y'all will laugh but I have tried and tried but I am lost on how to backup to 
tape. When I run "/root/bacula/bin/btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0", the test 
runs correctly. I have tried to set up a tape job but it stops with this 
message:

16-Oct 06:05 localhost-sd JobId 227: Job 
GROUP_Tape_only_files.2008-10-13_23.05.07
waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "Sony_SDX-400V" (/dev/nst0)
    Pool:         Tape Backups Pool - weekly
    Media type:   8mmAIT-1


My goal is to have four tapes.....each gets a full backup every Friday night. 
The next Friday, that tape gets pulled and Bacula just backs up to the new tape 
that night.

I think the pertinent sections  from bacula-dir.conf are shown below:

Job {
  Name = "GROUP Tape only files"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  Client = localhost-fd
  FileSet = "GROUP Tape files"
  Schedule = WeeklyCycle
  Storage = "Tape Backups"
  Pool = "Tape Backups Pool - weekly"
  Messages = Standard
}
Storage {
  Name = "Tape Backups"
  Password = xxxx
  Address = 1x.xx.xx.xx
  SDPort = 9103
  Device = Sony_SDX-400V
  Media Type = 8mmAIT-1
}
Pool {
  Name = "Tape Backups Pool - weekly"
  Pool Type = Backup
  Volume Retention = 30 days
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
 #  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Use Volume Once = yes
}


Can anyone help get me started?

Thanks!
