Hi,

I'm currently working with Bareos 14.2.2, making back ups of multiples servers 
and database servers. Recently my storage server overcame 80% of disk use, so 
became time to use an external backup. We have external usb3 disks of 4TB to 
use for this. I can connect a disk to the storage server and mount it without 
problems.

Then I configured my storage server (backup.mycompanydomain.com) like this:

# Original backup device
Device {
  Name = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /archive/bareos
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bareos label unlabeled media
  Random Access = yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = yes;
}

# External USB 4TB disk
Device {
  Name = UsbExternalFileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /archive/bareos-external-usb-disk
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bareos label unlabeled media
  Random Access = yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = yes;
}

And my director server like this:

Storage {
  Name = backup.mycompanydomain.com
  Address = backup.mycompanydomain.com
  Password = "XXXXXXXX"
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
}

#
# Definition of external disk storage device
#
Storage {
  Name = externalbackup.mycompanydomain.com
  Address = backup.mycompanydomain.com
  Password = "MFRFwi+yNMiCF4TrjCfAIOzpdP6qsHJ91PSSVivmQsA6"
  Device = UsbExternalFileStorage
  Media Type = File
}

Testings of the configuration changes show no errors but when I try to view 
current status on bconsole I get this:

I've read articles where the same type of configuration works like a charm but 
i cannot make this one works.

Anyone knows what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
