>> Dear all,
>>
>> We recently bought two identical HP Ultrium 448i tape drives. We want
>> to use them with Bacula and found the white paper "Best Practices for
>> Disk Backup" [1] that describes how to configure a virtual autochanger.
>> We applied the necessary changes in order to model our two drives
>> combined in one virtual autochanger and tried it with a backup job that
>> needs more than one tape.
>>
>> Bacula used the first tape as expected but when in came to use the
>> second tape it requested the second tape to be mounted in the first
>> drive although the tape was correctly mounted in the second drive.
>>
>> Now I would like to ask the experts if it is possible to make a setup
>> like I described work and if so, what we did wrong so far. We are
>> currently using bacula 5.2.6 from Debian stable (8.0 aka jessie). So
>> far we have been using bacula with one drive for the past 10 years or so
>> and did not have any problems.
