Hi Phil, the reasons are mostly historical: I started doing incrementals to disk with fulls to tape, so I had a separate incremental disk pool and then simply added a 2nd disk pool for the full backups. This way, I can also later separate the pools to different disk devices I can also live with symlinks as I have a limited number of incr. volumes, but it sure would be nicer to have bacula select the correct pool automatically. I changed the media type in the sd config and the Storage definition in bacula-dir.conf like so: Device { Name = FileStorage_incremental Media Type = File-Diff Archive Device = /mnt/disk/online_backup_incremental LabelMedia = yes; Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = yes; RemovableMedia = no; AlwaysOpen = no; } Storage { Name = FileStorage_incremental Address = bacula-server SDPort = 9103 Password = "XXXXX" Device = FileStorage_incremental Media Type = File-Diff Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4 } and restarted bacula. I then updated "pool from resource" for the incr. pool and "all volumes in pool", but the media type is still listed as "File" when I select "list media" in bconsole. Do I need to update the media table in mysql? Would it be simpler to merge both pools into a single one?
