Yes, I believe I expressed my surprise that bacula doesn't seem to support something that simple, only to be told that bacula is multithreaded and therefore it's very complicated. I read the the autochanger resource section in TFM before starting this thread. There's no way anyone can possible figure out that setting Changer Command = "" Changer Device = /dev/null will work and not send your backups to /dev/null. So don't be surprised that no one mentioned Bacula's built-in virtual autochanger feature that has been there for years -- nobody knew about it until just now. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
