Re: [Bacula-users] Labeling when using native virtual autochanger

Dan,

On your Virtual Autochanger, you are doing two things different from
what I have always done, which could potential create problems for you. 
The two directives that you should remove from your Virtual Autochanger
Device definitions are:

  AlwaysOpen = yes
  RemovableMedia = yes

Best regards,
Kern
