Hello Josh,
Are you using a physical or virtual autochanger?
I haven´t tried the read-only feature yet. But I was wondering if in
the case of a physical autochanger you could have the read-only drive
also configured as a standalone drive. This way it would be possible
to configure your Virtual Full to use this standalone drive for
reading and all the other ones for writing.
This is with a virtual autochanger. But how is does one specify the read
drive separately from the write drive?
Best regards,
Ana

Is anyone using the relatively new read-only feature of Device
resources? I had thought to use this feature to reserve an autochanger
drive as the read drive for virtual full backups. But in a two-drive
autochanger, making drive 1 read-only is problematic. A virtual
full job
will select the read drive before it selects the write drive. I have
confirmed that it will, or at least can, select drive 0 (the
read/write
drive) as the read drive for the virtual full job and then be stuck
without a writable drive, causing the job to fail. I would have
thought
that when selecting a read drive for a virtual full or copy job
that the
selection would prefer an available read-only drive over an available
read/write drive, but that does not seem to be the case. Any thoughts?
