Hmm... Manual restores does not sound like fun at all :)
Is there really not any solution that makes both backup and restores
to disk work involving more than one storage and more than one pool?
Right now my client schedules looks like this:
Schedule {
Name = "platinum"
Run = Level=Full Storage=platinum-full Pool=Full-Pool 1st sat at 22:30
Run = Level=Differential Storage=platinum-full Pool=Diff-Pool
2nd-5th sat at 22:30
Run = Level=Incremental Storage=platinum-inc Pool=Inc-Pool mon-fri at 22:30
}
Before I tried to have two jobs for each client and then the restore
worked well as far as I can remember, but then the problem was that
volumes were saved to the wrong storage devices :( There does not seem
to be any easy solution to this...
