Labelling tapes in bulk – Bacula

This is not a significant post. It is for the record. I received 20 new LTO4 tapes recently. I attached the external labels to them after using https://kelvin.nu/barcode *label barcodes pool=Scratch storage=bacula-sd-02 drive=0 slot=1-7,11-15,17-23,39,47 Connecting to Storage daemon bacula-sd-02 at bacula-sd-02.int.unixathome.org:9103 … 3306 Issuing autochanger “slots” command.

Migrating a Dell TL4000 to a new FreeBSD server and attaching it to a jail

I recently migrated a bunch of jails from one server to another. Today I attached the Dell TL4000 tape library. A jail on this server copied Bacula backups from disk to tape. In this post: FreeBSD 12.0 Bacula 9.4.3 Dell R720 Investigation As anticipated, I needed to update the server configuration to cope with changed

I’m using Bacula 9.0.3 for this post, on FreeBSD 10.3 and 11.1. I did not document this as I went along, however, the details should be enough to get you started. NOTE: when I refer to the bacula-sd configuration, I mean the bacula-sd in question, not necessarily on the same server as bacula-dir. This will
