Maybe this could be usefull. But I'm still trying to understand why are you using disk drives directly in archive device configuration. You have PB backups. I suppose you have storage arrays with other fault tolerance levels like raid, multipath, etc.. This way, until you have a disk failure that make your ärchive device" unavailable for bacula, you will have enough time to take the necessary actions to avoid this.

I also think that backup software cannot be aware of hardware faliures. Instead this is a problem that has to be treated in another fault tolerance level.

Sorry If I am misunderstooding the problem here.

Best regards,

Ana

When the drive is replaced, its by-id changes, which has a ripple effect
across the configuration (This is one of the reasons I use symlinks from
"bacula ID" to the by-id, which in turn links to the real device.)

_BOTH_ features are useful (and there are tickets in bacula enterprise
for them already)
