Hi,
We have been using bacula with DISK BASED BACKUP during years
(in a multi-pool, multi-device configuration)
Recently we have "redefined" the devices as autochangers
according the Bacula documentation.
Although the "whole thing" appears to be running ok we have
TWO questions:
1) In the previous "device mode", the MediaType of all
defined devices was set as "File"...Now, in the "autochanger
mode" I've also used the same MediaType "File" for ALL devices
in ALL autochangers...
* Is this right or MUST I use a different MediaType for
every autochanger (in all its devices)?
* If I must use a different MediaType...the change implies
some problem with existent volumes? Must I do/change something
with the existent volumes?
2) According Bacula documentation is possible to "reserve" a
device in an autochanger setting the property "Autoselect=no" in
that device definition but...
* How can I force bacula to use these reserved devices for
a restore command?
* The Bacula documentation sais that this can be done but
NOT HOW, and apparently the restore command (at least
interactively) only permits specify the Storage, not the
device...
Regards.
