One point that I don't think is mentioned explicitly in the manual, at least not in the currently released version, is that you need to ensure that your MediaTypes are properly defined. Bacula assumes that for any given MediaType, a Volume can be mounted on any Device having the same MediaType. Thus to properly define your MediaTypes, you must ensure that they are unique for the set of Devices on which the Volumes can be mounted. If you have two Storage daemons, it is unlikely that you can mount the same Volume on both SDs (at different times). If this is the case, the MediaTypes must be unique for those two SDs. If a Volume can be mounted on both SDs then there is no problem using the same MediaType. Ideally, you will use different pools for the two SDs so that the same Volume will never be requested by the two SDs at the same time. > > Regards, > Georg > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
