Thanks Mat, that sounds plausible, but is it even possible to have two devices for the same folder on disk, which have access to the same volumes? So far I believed that was impossible, but I am only a casual user of Bacula.
Hello Justin, It is absolutely possible, and strongly encouraged to have multiple Devices in a disk Autochanger in the SD config. As a matter of fact, this is the purpose of an Autochanger. It makes no sense to have a disk Autochanger with only one device in it. :) Each device config should be exactly the same, except for the `Name` and `DriveIndex` Additionally, you can can create some devices with `ReadOnly = yes` and these will be "reserved" for Restore/Copy/Migration Job read devices and will never be used by a Backup job to write data. You can create as many devices in an Autochanger as you want/need - they are free, and more is better. :) FYI, I never create an Autochanger with less tha n 10+ devices, each having `MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1`, and several of them being `ReadOnly = yes` Hope this helps, Bill -- Bill Arlofski w...@protonmail.com
