Hi all, After quite a bit of churning on my issue about Storage directives and restores, I have found the answer (thanks Vik!) I had all of the Media Types for my many Storage directives set to "File". When I tried to restore, bacula went to the first Storage directive with the appropriate type, which was typically the wrong one.
So, each of my storage directives now has a unique Media Type, such as Share42FileMediaType. The problem now is that all of the previous backups, while valid, are of the old Media Type (File). Now my daily backups fail (or at least require intervention) with the message "Cannot find any appendable volumes". I assume this is because the old Media Type has been forgotten, and recycling cannot take place. Does this seem reasonable? If this is indeed the case, it seems to me what I need to do is modify the database so that File media types are changed to the correct media types. Does this sound like a prudent thing to do? Is there a way to do this within bacula, or do I need to do some SQL magic? Thanks in advance for any tips or pointers!
