Hi,

I've some problems understanding the documentation. Here
(http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Basic_Volume_Management.html#15352)
are some paragraphs describing the use of different Pools and different
Devices.
My question/missunderstanding is the following: do I need for
every Pool I want to use a dedicated Storage Device definition?
I planned to backup only to a single directory, but different labels
of the monthly, weekly and daily backups:
--snip--
...
Storage {
  Name = zimt-sd
  Address = 192.168.1.1
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "xxx"
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
}
...
Schedule {
  Name = "Default"
  Run = Level=Full Pool=Monthly 1st sat at 03:05
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Weekly 2nd-5th sat at 03:05
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Daily sun-fri at 03:05
}
...
Pool {
  Name = Daily
  Pool Type = Backup
  Use Volume Once = yes
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 14 days
  Label Format = "Daily-"
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G
}

Pool {
  Name = Weekly
  Pool Type = Backup
  Use Volume Once = yes
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 6 weeks
  Label Format = "Weekly-"
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G
}

Pool {
  Name = Monthly
  Pool Type = Backup
  Use Volume Once = yes
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 365 days
  Label Format = "Monthly-"
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G
}
--snap--

The storage daemon has only one Device configuration:
--snip--

Device {
  Name = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /srv/bacula
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
}
--snap--

Last weekend, my problem was that the differential backups stalled
with the message that "Pool Daily was mounted" but "Pool Weekly was
expected" (sorry, after a restart of the director the exact message
was lost).

I think I'm still missing something. Would be kind if anybody could
give some hints.

I use the standard packages shipped with opensuse 10.3:
bacula-dir --version: 2.0.3

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
