Best regards, Bill I have long wished that Bacula would pick next volume and drive as a pair in an atomic operation. This could solve other race conditions caused by certain configurations, for example concurrent jobs writing to the same pool with a multi-drive autochanger. As long as a single read drive is assigned statically at job start, things such as utilizing multiple SDs or multiple autochanger drives for a single job will not be possible. Unfortunately, that is not a simple task. ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Once it is supported in the Enterprise version, I am sure it will be ported to the Community version at some point shortly after, but of course there is no ETA about this issue being solved/supported.

[Bacula-users] Virtual Full backups where nextpool is a different sd
Hi, I'm trying to get virtual full backups working. I'm running 13.0.2. The differentials are being backed-up to a tape library in 1 location which is not usually manned, so I'm trying to get the virtual fulls to be sent to a tape library in our main location. However when the virtual full starts, it tries to mount volumes from the differential pool in the full pool library, which of course is physically impossible. I have the nextpool etc set to be remote -> local but the system seems to be unable to set the read devices to be the remote sd and the write device to be the local sd.
