Re: [Bacula-users] WORM Media (LTO)

Yes - but - BACULA does already support ARCHIVE as a MEDIA STATUS - currently this STATUS has to be set by manual Update. Still it would be nice, if BACULA did this by itself. :)

Well - That's not a good solution - as you can append Data to a WORK
drive, as long as there is free "space" on the WORM Tape.

Maybe (maybe it is already implemented) a better solution would be, if
one could choose a "default Tape state" within Bacula wich Bacula would
set a Tape to, instead of "Full" - one could set this State to
"Archived" for WORM Tapes - so if a WORM Tape changes from Append to
Full - this State would not be "Full" be "Archived" ...

Any Bacula developer out there reading this thread?

Why can this not be done with existing features? Recycling is an option, not a requirement. I think the 'solution' is to never recycle.
