snipped info...
I want to backup info from sda1 to sdb1.
I tried to do a trial backup from bacula's webmin console and received the following error info...

Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "FileStorage" (/mnt/sdb1/backups)
Pool: File
Media type: File
I then went to the command prompt to create a new Volume...
root@cablemon /mnt/sdb1# bconsole

Do not forget to mount the drive!!!

Here are the permissions for my second hard drive...
root@cablemon /mnt/sdb1# ls -la
total 28
drwxrwxr-x 4 root bacula 4096 Mar 30 10:14 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bacula 4096 Mar 29 15:10 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 root bacula 4096 Mar 30 10:14 backups
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Mar 29 15:01 lost+found
What is also interesting is that in the comments section for the Storage { section in bacula-dir.conf, it says not to use "localhost" for the Address. When, I changed it to "cablemon" and restarted bacula, the storage daemon failed to start.
Here is /etc/hosts:
root@cablemon /mnt/sdb1# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 cablemon
Note, they have different IPs. In the Director { section of bacula-dir, the DirAddress is 127.0.0.1. As indicated, the Storage { section uses "localhost" as the Address which is 127.0.0.1. In bacula-sd.conf, in the Storage { section, the SDAdress is 127.0.0.1. The bacula-fd.conf and bconsole.conf files also refer to the 127.0.0.1 address.
The device section of bacula-sd.conf is:
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /mnt/sdb1/backups
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = no
}
Very odd given that bacula has full write permissions on the second HDD.
