Yes you need two different types as by using one media type Bareos thinks it can stick a volume that is in one storage into an other. At least we have seen that go wrong on file based storage. I think your biggest challenge is finding out why it tries reserving the wrong Media Type. I guess you did make separate volumes and pools for the second changer, you should really never put volumes of different storage into the same pool or you will be in for some nasty surprises. Due to physical limitations you need to make sure that both storages are fully independent as of course it cannot stick a volume physically in one autochanger into a drive in the other. -- Marco van Wieringen marco.van.wierin...@bareos.com Bareos GmbH & Co.
