Re: [Bacula-users] Removing tape from library

What I'm after is a more hands-off approach. A simple set-it and forget-it
feature. I need Bacula to "make these decisions" without any human
intervention.
If the last tape with Append status is not available bacula should do the
following:
1. Notify the backup admin
2. Then wait 2 hours for remedy
3. If the tape in question is still not available after 2 hours, use the next
available tape.
This way my backup still continues even if I neglect/forget to change volume
status to Full.

When I do this I mark the tape Full or used using bconsole. And then
it does not give me problems as long as its retention period is not
over.
