Hi,

my VirtualFull backups keep failing on me as I have many of them. They
run from 2 different File Pools and target 1 autochanger Tape library.
No matter how many concurrent jobs I declare and despite I activate
Spool Data and it actually does the spooling, only a single job can
access a singel File storage at a time. So now one job waits for the
autochanger while the other waits for the File and so they are in a
deadlock.
The idea is now to just use the vchanger and provide multiple File
drives to bacula to get rid of the issue. Obviously the File-Volumes are
already written and labeled and the naming is incompatibe to the
vchanger-names.
- Is there a different way to solve this deadlock situation permanently,
  even if the jobs have to wait some time after being scheduled because of
  other jobs blocking the devices?
- Is there an easy way to make the current File volumes known to the
  vchanger and Bacula?
  The current approach would be to stop bacula, move and rename the
  files and update the occurances of the File names in Job and Media
  tables.

Regards,
        Adrian
