Bareos Windows Installation and mtx-changer

[Thomas D]

Hi, I have installed latest windows release of bareos and wanted to control a Neos Storageloader T24. But I can't find any mtx-changer script nor a mtx.exe to control the tapeloader? Is there any possibility to configure the storage daemon to control the tapeloader under windows? Best regards Thomas D.

Hello Thomas,

as we have documented on
https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/TheWindowsVersionOfBareos.html

(Limitation): Limitation - Windows: |sd| only support backup to disk, not to tape.

we do not support tape backup on windows, only to disk.

While we heard that some users were successful to run tape backups on windows, I am not aware
that somebody has successfully configured a changer on windows.

While this is for sure possible to achieve, we do not plan to implement this.

Best regards,

Philipp
