It does. It implies that it is not supported by the authors/maintainers of the Bacula and therefore such setup is not future-proof. Not that I wouldn't like to see the SQLite continue although I don't use it (I like to have as many options as possible) but if it complicates maintenance and authors/maintainers are not ready to continue it, I don't see any other option but discontinue as it would only hurt people who try to use it and rely on it in the future while the support breaks again and there will be nobody to fix it (the last good people from Debian jumped in and made it work again). Maybe an effort is needed to help people to move from the SQLite to mysql/postgres. E.g. some migration scripts or something. I am not sure if those exist already. I think somebody said that they don't exist. Regards! -- Josip Deanovic ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

If you want to treat LTO3 and LTO4 differently, you will need two drives. Normally you just set everything to LTO, and any tape will go into the drive. If you specifically only want certain backups on certain tapes then it's probably better to handle that at the pool level.

Also besides Carsten Leonhardt and me from Debian nobody has been testing or even maintaining the SQLite database scripts. SQLite is only available still because we tested and submitted patches to keep it working.
