Well, 1. Bacula isn't a real enterprise backup system, so workarounds are just fine considering there is a lack of programmers. 2. I don't see that a lookup to a media table would solve anything. Some other concept is needed. Currently, in Bacula one either locks the volumes down specifying a unique MediaType, or you specify a generic type in which case Bacula assumes the volumes can be mounted on any compatible drive. Maybe I am missing something, but it seems to me that you want something where Bacula automatically figures out when you would like to transfer tapes. 3. If you want Bacula to be able to modify Media Types during an update slots command, that is possibly a solution. > > Regards > > Thomas > > > btw: > why are blocking high priority jobs > on one location/changer lower priority > jobs on a different location/changer? > i think that the priority have to take care of clients and storages, > so the jobs with different priority on different storages can run at once (order by priority and storage). > (a client with priority 10 and storage Jukebox1 does not have to prevent a priority 11 job on jukebox2 from being started) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
