Thank you spammer. I have since amended your post to remove the reference to your website…. no you cannot spam here.

But I left in your email address should anyone wish to contact you.

For the list of files on a tape: what I would do is find out the Jobs on the Volumes, as shown above, then start a restore within bconsole. ‘Then use this option: Enter list of comma separated JobIds to select’

Strictly speaking, this won’t be only Files on this Volume. If a Job spans Volumes, then a given file in that Job may be on a different Volume.

Just this morning I needed to know what files were on a particular tape. The answer ended up being too many (20,000+) but I was wondering if you could put together an article about that?

BTW, I configured my Bacula with Postgres. Using 3.0.1 & 8.4.

With the latest version of Bat, you can see the list of jobs using a specific Volume in the Media Info view (try
to double click on the volume name or in the volume list of a given Job view). It should avoid playing with SQL
queries.
