Hi spadajspadaj,
thanks, this seems to work (somewhat). I needed to give it a kick by
manually mounting the second device via bconsole (vchanger reported it
mounted, but the director reported it as unmounted). I'll keep an eye
open, whether this is necessary each time, or if it was only a single
issue.
btw: I run backups in parallel anyways (same pool, only - because of
different retention times, I guess) to speed it up. My assumption is, that
loosing the catalog is just as probable as loosing the actual backups
(they're stored on similar disks, really), so it's nothing I need to
specifically prepare for.
regards,
Erich

Since vchanger emulates the mtx-changer interface, theoreticaly it should be
possible to have more than one "device".
I've never tried that myself but you could try defining another device as per
https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/AutochangerSupport.html#multiple-devices
And you can of course allow interlacing multiple jobs on a single tape by
allowing multiple concurrent jobs (I don't do it myself but I read that it
can cause some problems if you lose the directory and try to restore from
media only).
Best regards,
MK

Hi,
I have a follow-up to my original problem: Is it possible to make vchanger
load more than one virtual tape simultanously - preferably one for each
pool? Because I now have a bunch of incremental backups waiting for a
drive, because there are some long-running full backups still in progress.
Currently, I can only think of the possibility to run multiple vchangers,
but then I would need to divide my volumes into "Full", "Differential" and
"Incremental" manually - and I'd like to avoid this.
Cheers,
Erich

No problem, mate.
Hope this is of some help. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to
ask. I can't guarantee I'll be able to give reasonable advice but I'll try
:-)
Cheers.
