Thanks for the pointer....
As a fairly experienced administrator with legato networker and EMC's
EDM, I find it strange that I have to associate both a pool resource
and a storage resource to a job definition with bacula, surely a pool is
enough ?
If you say so... but that would be something totally new to me,
concerning Bacula.
What are the benefits of having it the way it is currently ?
I see two important benefits:
Number one, I can use Bacula now and don't have to wait for something
else :-)
The other one is that I can have a pool spread over different media
types. Which is, at least for me, something I prefer.
From a non coder/developers point of view I dont think it can be too
complicated to write the something like;
I need to write something to tape (covers backups starting and tape filling)
which pool is it
do I have a volume in a drive for that pool
is the volume appendable
and so on
well, I'm also a non coder, but I do know a little about the internal
workings of Bacula, and I don't think it's that easy. The difficultpart
is the stuff happening behind the visible layer. And, of course, Kern
said, not too long ago, that implementing a fully automatic device
selction would require lots of work.
Obviously, if you want or even need such a feature, feel free to suggest
it next time the future projects are voted on. Or feel free to start
working and submit a patch :-)

Cheers,
Brian.
