Hello Bruno,
i thougt that i tried to do what you proposed...
Write the full consolidation job, including the first full from tape to
the Consolidation pool and them migrate all back to tape. So i thought
there would be no need to write on the tape during the consolidated full.
As it works on incremental consolidation, data is read of type (file)
and written to type (filec) too. At least, that's how i interpret the log.

Or am i missing something here?

This setup will not work, if your first full is on Tape, the
consolidation won't be able to have a read and write storage of the same
media type.
The tape should be used to create a VF copy of consolidated jobs for
example.

Hello
I'm reviving this old thread, because i think i have a setup like Brock
describes, but still have some error in the setup or found a bug in
bareos. I'd be really glad if you could help me...
There is One LTO-8 Drive with an associated Pool "Fulltape" (mediatype
"lto-8") and the Disk-Storage with Pools "AI-Incremental" (mediatype
"file") and "AI-Consolidated" (mediatype "filec").
At the beginning i did a Full in the "Fulltape" Pool on LTO-8.
After that daily AI Incrementals on Disk in the AI-Incremental Pool.
Additionaly daily Consolidation jobs to AI-Consolidated.
This ran errorfree and smooth for 8 months. Then "Always Incremental
max
Full Age" was reached and i expected a full backup In AI-Consolidated,
which i wanted to migrate back to tape again afterwards.
Alas this Full Consolidation throws an error and fails to change the
read device to the tape.
Is this a bug in bareos ?
here is the error:
