to the -devel list because clearly no-one who can answer it reads the

Yes, I believe I expressed my surprise that bacula doesn't seem to
support something that simple, only to be told that bacula is
multithreaded and therefore it's very complicated.
I read the the autochanger resource section in TFM before starting this
thread. There's no way anyone can possible figure out that setting
Changer Command = ""
Changer Device = /dev/null
will work and not send your backups to /dev/null. So don't be surprised
that no one mentioned Bacula's built-in virtual autochanger feature that
has been there for years -- nobody knew about it until just now.
