I am using a stand alone drive and not a changer. Is there a directive
that I can use to cause bacula to execute a script prior to the mount?
I see that there is a "Mount Command" directive, but it does not seem to
be called for my jobs. I am not sure if it will get called for Tape
devices.
I tried the following:
Device {
Name = DLT-7000
Media Type = DLT
Device Type = Tape
Archive Device = Tape0
AutomaticMount = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
Mount Command = "init_dlt %a"
}
My init_dlt.cmd file is in the same directory as the mtx-changer.cmd
file and contains:
@echo off
SET MT="C:\Program Files\Bacula\bin\mt.exe"
%MT% -f %1 setblk 0
%MT% -f %1 compression 1
When I run a job, my init_dlt script does not get called. My script
works if I just run it (I can tell because when I run it, the
compression indicator lights up on the tape drive.) Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rex
