Hello,
I do full and differential backups on SLR100 tape, but incremental
ones on DDS-3; when trying to restore a full set I get this:
Warning, the JobIds that you selected refer to more than one MediaType.
Restore is not possible. The MediaTypes used are:
SLR100
DDS-3
Ummm... bacula can access the media just fine for backup, so why does
it complain on restore?
Because the current stable versions can do restores from only one device.
This is, AFAIR, documented somewhere and has been discussed on this list
some time ago. Multiple times, in fact.
The work around is to either run several restore jobs manually, each
refering to the jobs on each media.
In the setup you use (I use something similar) it's rather easy, first
run the full and differential ones, then start a restore with the
incremental jobs following the differential one. This might lead to a
somewhat longer restore process as it's possible that files are restored
twice, but should work ok.
The other solution is to manually modify the bootstrap file created
after the initial restore setup and to split it in two parts. The first
one should contain only references to your SLR tapes, and the DDS parts
are saved in a second bootstrap file which you run in a second job.
This requires some understanding of how bootstrap files work, obviously.
The underlying limitation will, as far as I know, be removed in the
upcoming versions and is already removed in the current development
version, so it shouldn't take long until a setup with multiple storage
devices in a restore works seamless.
