[Bacula-users] Use Import/Export slots of autochanger

2010-02-26 Thread Daniel Kamm
Hi all, my question may be a vendor specific one or may be a mtx-changer question. My Quantum autochanger has 5 Import/Export slots, which basically are just better accessible tape slots. Mtx displays the slots as I/E slots. But tapes in those slots are not recognised by Bacula. See attached

Dear list, I have a rather general question. Is it possible to do two phase or two pass backups with Bacula? That means I firstly want to back up a client over network to a disk array and on a second step put this backup to tape/autoloader. I do not only mean to use disk cache on the storage
