Well, it can't :-) 1.39, as far as I know, can better handle such a situation. But in fact you found why you should really use different media types for devices that can not (easily) share media. > When i start the job with the "wrong" storage, this happens: > >>12-Dec 12:44 backup-sd-gs: RestoreFiles.2006-12-12_12.43.17 Warning: >>acquire.c:146 Wrong Volume mounted on device "JBGS-1" (/dev/nst0): >>Wanted INC008 have INC002 > > bacula loads Slot2 from Overland1, why? > the MediaTable shows INC008 at Overland2/Slot 2 and INC002 at > Overland1/Slot 2. > it's a little bit useless to load slot 2 from the wrong changer. > > >>12-Dec 12:44 backup-sd-gs: Please mount Volume "INC008" on Storage >>Device "JBGS-1" (/dev/nst0) for Job RestoreFiles.2006-12-12_12.43.17 > > this message is ok, i have wrongly specified Overland1 as storage in the > RestoreJob, bacula did not automatically select Overland2 > and so it want to have the needed volume at Overland1. > > Is there any way to automatically select the correct storage, when the > mediatable shows the tape in one of the storages? Well, it might be time to ply with 1.39.wherever-we-are-today for you and test this... I'm sure Kern would be interested in the results of your tests. As far as I know, there's a better chance for this to work as it should in 1.39.
