Hi Stefano,
in order for bacula to be able to "assemble" all required volumes from
different storages during a restore involving multiple volumes, you
need to make sure all storages are using an identical media type.
All the best, Uwe

Hi Uwe,
Thanks for your reply, that solution seems a lot easier compared to the "autochanger" one. I tried to make the MediaType the same for every storage and device and the situation got better, but it hasn't completely solved yet.
16-dic 14:09 thisdir-sd JobId 609: End of Volume at file 0 on device "JobName_full" (/path/to/storage/JobName_full), Volume "JobName_full_1"
16-dic 14:09 thisdir-sd JobId 609: Warning: acquire.c:239 Read open device "JobName_full" (/path/to/storage/JobName_full) Volume "JobName_diff_5" failed: ERR=dev.c:568 Could not open: /path/to/storage/JobName_full, ERR=No such file or directory
Followed by this mouting request:
16-dic 14:09 thisdir-sd JobId 609: Please mount Volume "JobName_diff_5" for:
The problem here is that different storages refer to different directories, and Bacula pretends to find the new volume in the same directory of the old one.
Now that the MediaType is the same, no fatal errors are exposed, but Bacula is not really changing the storage, it is only misled thinking that the new volume will be found in the same storage of the old one, but it won't.
Can you please, Uwe, tell me if i'm wrong on that point and, if not, tell me if there's any solution about it?
Thank you.
