Hi,
I have been searching for this for a while, but all I could find relates
to "retention", as in, the period of time to keep records of
files/volumes/medias in a system.
What I'm trying to achieve it retension, or the act of seeking a tape to
the end, then rewinding it.
My question is two-fold:
a) I want to do a retension of all my tapes. "mt -f /dev/st0 retension"
produces no output and immediately quits. It appears to do nothing.
b) I would like to have my Bacula system automatically start a job by
first retensioning the tape, and then doing the backup. Or it could be
at the end. Or I can schedule a monthly retension job, whatever. I just
want to have some way of automating the process of retensioning my tapes.
My drive is a Seagate DAT72 internal, SCSI. I believe these are the same
as DDS5 cartridges?
The host is Linux Debian Etch, on which runs both the director and the
storage daemon.
Thanks
Laurent
