Hi Folks,

I have a backup scheme that has been working well, with 1 issue. We write to
a 4.5 TB RAID pack for 30 days, then cycle it as offsite backup, replacing
it with an identical array.

Now obviously each RAID pack has a different set of volumes, so when I
switch them, the first job can't seem to figure out which volume to use and
it marks the one it expects as Error in the catalog. I have to force it to
use a Volume on the new RAID and then it seems to work fine until I rotate
it again. I am concerned that this one Volume is getting marked as
erroneous, and would also like this to be as "hands-off" as possible. Has
anyone done this sort of thing before, and did you experience similar
issues?

I may be missing something fundamental and your input is appreciated.

SD and Director are both running 3.0.3 on separate CentOS 5.3 machines.

Thanks!
