Hello Dan,

Heitor is right :)

I run tests with exactly your configuration and had the same issue. The drive index 0 must exist and belongs to the autochanger resource. You have an Index 0 drive in your configuration: vRestore. But it is not in the Autochanger definition. If you put it there, it will work:

Autochanger {
	Name = VirtualDisk

	Changer Device = /dev/null
	Changer Command = /dev/null

	Device = vRestore, vDrive-1, vDrive-2, vDrive-3, vDrive-4, vDrive-5
	}

I tried defining the vRestore drive with "autoselect = no" (this work for physical autochangers). But it seems to make no sense when dealing with virtual disk autochangers.

Having a single drive for restores worked for me. I was able to restore files from jobs/volumes that used the autochanger for backup.

Device {
	Name = Restore -Drive
	Media Type = File
	Archive Device = /usr/local/bacula/volumes
	LabelMedia = yes
	Random Access = yes
	AutomaticMount = yes
	RemovableMedia = yes
	AlwaysOpen = yes

}

Best regards,

Ana

Do not undervalue that. :)

I'll have a look soon. Thanks.
