there must be another explanation, because i also use client specific
pools.
FYI: I have forgotten to attach the client config / template.

There should not be any media mounted, because the client is using his own device / pool and the volumes are only used once. Maybe this issue was caused by one of my tests. After starting with a new database everything worked fine. Webacula is also working and i can not waiting to see it as debian package. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614554 Next steps will be some tests an virtual backup. If everything works fine, i am happy. ;) Thanks for your help.

The reason is umount takes the storage device offline and will require a manual mount to bring it back online. If you used the release command instead of umount it does not take the device offline. You can also debug this by looking at the pool list media pool=poolname in bconsole John -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
