Supported Autochangers

I hesitate to call these "supported" autochangers because the only autochangers that I have in my possession and am able to test are the HP SureStore DAT40X6 and the Overland PowerLoader LTO-2. All the other autochangers have been reported to work by Bacula users. Note, in the Capacity/Slot column below, I quote the Compressed capacity per tape (or Slot).

Since on most systems (other than FreeBSD), Bacula uses mtx through the mtx-changer script, in principle, if mtx will operate your changer correctly, then it is just a question of adapting the mtx-changer script (or selecting one already adapted) for proper interfacing. You can find a list of autochangers supported by mtx at the following link: http://mtx.opensource-sw.net/compatibility.php http://mtx.opensource-sw.net/compatibility.php. The home page for the mtx project can be found at: http://mtx.opensource-sw.net/http://mtx.opensource-sw.net/.
