Hi,

I'm trying to get virtual full backups working.  I'm running 13.0.2.

The differentials are being backed-up to a tape library in 1 location
which is not usually manned, so I'm trying to get the virtual fulls to
be sent to a tape library in our main location.

However when the virtual full starts, it tries to mount volumes from
the differential pool in the full pool library, which of course is
physically impossible.

Hello Mark,

Unfortunately, this is not possib
le currently with Virtual Fulls.

Migration and Copy jobs can be between different SDs, but not Virtual Fulls.

I have been informed by the developers that it will also not be supported very soon.

Sorry for the bad news.


Best regards,
Bill


I have long wished that Bacula would pick next volume and drive as a pair in an atomic operation. This could solve other race conditions caused by certain configurations, for example concurrent jobs writing to the same pool with a multi-drive autochanger. As long as a single read drive is assigned statically at job start, things such as utilizing multiple SDs or multiple autochanger drives for a single job will not be possible. Unfortunately, that is not a simple task.
