In this post, I am working with FreeBSD 10.2 on this server. Over the past few days, a 3 year old drive has been giving errors. The number of errors has been constant, but I have a spare drive here, so I decided to replace it. I have verified that it is out of warranty.

Last night, I managed to install new (but used) SAS cables for my Dell TL4000 on the tape01 server. I managed to get bacula-sd running, but I was unable to communicate with it from bacula-dir, via bconsole on my laptop. Eventually, I ran bacula-sd from the command line in the foreground and with debugging and

In this post, I am using FreeBSD 10.2 and Bacula 7.4.0. I am now the proud second-hand owner of a Dell TL4000. The first thing I did was add an air filter. Why? Because I can. I got one made, with custom dimensions, by DEMCiflex. You can see that filter here in this photo. My
