hi,

on sunday we are running an end-of-week script
which sets all tapes in loader to status used
and runs release on both drives.

release storage=Tape drive=0
release storage=Tape drive=1

on monday morning copy jobs are scheduled:

CopyDiskToTape into pool DiskCopy
CopyDiskToExtClone into pool ExtClone

after all CopyDiskToTape jobs are done
bacula unmounts drive 0 and mounts volume
from pool ExtClone into drive 0.

so why does bacula not use empty drive 1 at this point ???

how can i tell bacula to use empty autoloader drives ???

thx
ulric
