Post PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING 
Before posting to this forum, you need to understand that it is also connected to a mailing list that existed before the forum, and that we must respect that community's wishes. EVERY forum post that you make is immediately sent to that mailing list as an email. Messages that include no context may make sense on a threaded forum, but make no sense to an email user that can't easily see the previous message to which you are replying.

Therefore, when replying to another post (including your own), YOU MUST INCLUDE the relevant parts of the post to which you are replying in quotes. That way, when someone is following on the mailing list, they won't get an email that says "Here's what you can do about that?" without having any idea what "that" is.

The easiest way to do this is to use your mouse to select the appropriate amount of text needed for context, then right click and select "Copy." Paste that message into your forum post as the first paragraph or two. THEN SELECT THE PASTED TEXT AGAIN and click the "Quote" button just below the title of your post. That will place the "Quote" and "End Quote" codes around your text, causing it to show up as a quote in the forum post and in the email to the mailing list.

Your assistance in this is greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,
After weeks of struggle with setting up bacula I feel completely lost and need help. I am setting up Bacula on a Centos server, the idea is to have different clients (windows/linux) setup and backup different data on tapes. So far I have managed to:


First, do a simple, small backup to disk. Then, still on disk, create
the volumes, pools and labels just as you would on tape. Lastly, jump to
tape.

[snip]
I am happy to provide my dir conf if someone would be kind enough to go through it and advise on what I should change.


Please provide all conf files. We love helping newbies. I almost went
crazy with my first install.
Any help would be appreciated

Finally, before you destroy the existing setup, please write down the
exact errors or symptoms.

Hi Guys,
After weeks of struggle with setting up bacula I feel completely lost and need help. I am setting up Bacula on a Centos server, the idea is to have different clients (windows/linux) setup and backup different data on tapes. So far I have managed to:

- Setup bacula server and client
- get bacula to write to tape (from the local machine)
- label volumes (I have 7 tapes and I am labelling via barcodes)

The problems I am having are:

- I am unable to schedule backups from various clients on to tapes
- Once a tape gets filled I get prompted to "lable or mount a new volume" but neither label nor mount work when I issue the command Sad

I use the default pool for all the tapes. I just want data to be written to tapes every day and when a tape gets full I want bacula to pick the next tape and write to it. Nothing fancy just normal data being written to tapes. I can later consider using a tape/day but for now I just want this to work at a very basic level.

I am happy to provide my dir conf if someone would be kind enough to go through it and advise on what I should change.

Any help would be appreciated

Many thanks Sad

I don't know nothing about backupcentral things.

But just transforming your config in html things give those absolutely unreadable ...

stick to text. and if you post from a wiki/forums, try to use a appropriate tag.
like [code] or [pre] ....

Just so you're aware, even if you reply to a message that currently
exists and blank both the subject and the content, a header will remain
threading your new message to a previous one. This is known as
"thread-hijacking" and is annoying even if you do change the subject
line. Always "compose" a new message. Just wanted to help you avoid a
future goof. Smile

Thank you! I will definitely ping you Smile


First, do a simple, small backup to disk. Then, still on disk, create
the volumes, pools and labels just as you would on tape. Lastly, jump to
tape.


I will try this tonight Smile


Please provide all conf files. We love helping newbies. I almost went

I am extracting the config, I will post as soon as I have the files and hopefully by then the post will be moved to a more appropriate location.


Finally, before you destroy the existing setup, please write down the
exact errors or symptoms.


very good point, thanks! I will keep in mind

Thanks for the positive responses guys. I will be back shortly with more information etc

The problem with this is the post was from the backupcentral forum and
it appears that the OP posted his question in the sticky post that
explains the forum rules. I think this should be a read only topic..
