Bacula version 1.38.x does not support removable disk. It expects the Volumes to *always* be there in the directory you specify. If not it gets confused and asks for operator intervention. Bacula version 1.39.x has many more features that *should* permit proper support of removable disk (e.g. usb devices). It permits automatic mounts of the same nature that are done for DVD (not really necessary if you use udev or something similar), and it will automatically scan a removable disk volume to see if it finds the Volume it wants. The code is not yet fully documented. However, I used it will complete success writing to USB keys that I more or less switched at will (not while Bacula was writing). > > > >> Any idea to solve this ? > > > > Don't mount them on the same mount point. :) > > > > Create a second storage device, with a different mount point.
