Hello,

Unless the bacula-changer script has some particular
feature that you want, I would recommend using the mtx-changer
script that comes with the Bacula distribution (in the scripts directory)
and it is supported.  I have been using it for my backups since the
first day that Bacula handled autochangers, and I am currently
running it on Ubuntu 14.04 with an LTO-3 SAS drive.

Best regards,
Kern

Hello again.

I am trying to get the bacula-changer.sh script to work from http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=sample_configs - i am still working through the config statements/edits and so far have not got it working with my setup - I am not quite at the point of asking for help, but has/is anyone using/got it working with 7.4.2?

I am still plugging away at it, at the moment the script cannot manage the drive, which i think is down to the way it calla bconsole… 

mtx.log:-
Sat Aug 6 17:44:42 BST 2016 : loaded /dev/nst0 0
mtx-changer: tape loaded request on /dev/nst0
MT error, bacula might be using it! Return code: 1
Drive is UNMOUNTED:

The system is currently working fine and makes backups over multiple tapes, though requiring manual intervention - i want to streamline the manual flow so that anyone can change a tape on receipt of an email.
