I am running the bacula-sd on windows and using removable USB drives as
the backup media. There are currently 3 disks labelled DISK001, DISK002,
and DISK003. On each disk are volumes labelled the same as the disk but
with a letter suffix, eg DISK001A, DISK001B, DISK001C, etc

I plug the USB drive in and it defaults to F:. I then assign it to be
V:, but when I swap disks over for the next backup, the new disk becomes
F:, presumably because the system now has a new disk assignment for V:
which invalidates the previous one.

Is there a way around this to have multiple removable drives all assign
to the same letter as long as only one is plugged in at once?

Failing that I'll have to script up a solution (eg search all drive
letters for a special file like 'THIS_IS_A_BACULA_BACKUP_DISK') and
assign it correctly before each job...

Thanks

James
