Dear list,

 

I’m having trouble configuring bacula to backup on DVDs – I know it’s not the best solution and I will buy a tape drive but I wanted to play around with bacula in the mean time.

 

I try using bconsole to run a new job but I never get around to writing something to DVD

 

After trying the file storage I get

 

Running Jobs:

Writing: Full Backup job Octo.2010-03-31_19 JobId=2 Volume="BaculaDVD

    pool="DVDPool" device="DVD Writer" (/dev/scd0)

    spooling=0 despooling=0 despool_wait=0

    Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0

    FDReadSeqNo=6 in_msg=6 out_msg=4 fd=6

Jobs waiting to reserve a drive:

Terminated Jobs:

Device status:

Device "FileStorage" (/export/bacula-file) is not open.

Device "DVD Writer" (/dev/scd0) is mounted with:

    Volume:

    Pool:        DVDPool

    Media type:  DVD

    Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "BaculaDVD0002",

       Pool:        DVDPool

       Media type:  DVD

    Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0

    Positioned at File=0 Block=203

How can I clean up and start all over?

 

How come it keeps waiting to mount the DVD? I cannot mount a blank dvd

 

Anyone got an idea as to what I could try?

 

Regards,

 

Mads
