offsite. The vchanger howto does not state whether I should run label

You are mainly interested in the following:
Use Volume Once = yes
(also, yes, I know that I should be getting 8000B/tape this is all
on Fuji media which these last batches at least have really sucked. Anyone
know of a better brand?)
I would investigate the cause of this problem. I highly doubt every
tape is bad. I have never seen this (no bad tapes

Ok, I'm on 5.0.1, and am doing a differential backup w/ LTO4 drives which

Good morning,
Assuming a storage device supported on disk files, would this type of
configuration output each concurrent jobs for the particular storage

Pool overrides in the Schedule resource have been deprecated (but, for
backward compatibility, not removed) because they do not work properly

Full, Diff and Inc backups are working fine. The problem I have is that the

To clarify, the 'etc' and Catalog backups still want to go into the Full
pool even though I set the pool to Cat_Backup and the Catalog backup still
forces me to manually Label a volume even though none of the other Jobs
require it.

Somebody uses bacula Windows client ?

Bacula is in a state where the job is running waiting for the tape drive,
which is not mounted.
