Bacula is our backup solution. Our backups run to backup01 and ultimately to a tape robot
Contact Information
Owner: Fedora Infrastructure Team
Contact: #fedora-admin, sysadmin-main
Location: Phoenix
Servers: backup01
Purpose: Our backup solution
Troubleshooting and Resolution
You can get to the bacula management console with:
sudo /usr/sbin/bconsole
From there you can get a overview status with:
status dir
Or a more specific status on the tape drive with:
status

Intervention Required
If the tapes fill up, it may be required to purge the oldest volume. This is done with the purge command. Select volume, then a list of volumes comes up. Pick the oldest volume that has not already been purged or recycled.
list volumes
then
purge
It will ask you for the media-id or volume -id. Enter the one from the oldest tape listed above in list volumes.
After that the oldest tape will be purged, but bacula may not resume on it yet. You need to load the tape to make sure it realizes it can go on:
mount
It will ask for the device (say tape), then ask for the slot id. Enter the number from above in list volumes.
