It works, but I'm not sure if it should work :-)
I have this:
"bacula-dir.conf"
Autochanger {
Name = "ADIC-480"
Device = DRIVE0,DRIVE1,DRIVE2,DRIVE3
Changer Device = /dev/changer
Changer Command = "/opt/local/etc/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}
Device {
Name = DRIVE0 #
Media Type = AIT-2
Archive Device = /dev/DRIVE0
Drive Index = 0
AutoChanger = yes
AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it
Autoselect = no
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
LabelMedia = yes
Maximum Spool Size = 53687091200
Spool Directory = /export/u2/bacula/spool
}
......
And are using 4 pools, one for each tape.
I added a Storage {} for each drive in bacula-dir.conf ,
and 4 pools, and a JobDef for each pool:
JobDefs {
Name = "POOL1"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Storage = DRIVE0
Messages = Standard
Pool = Pool1
SpoolData = yes
Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes
}
Now a job as:
Job {
Name = "ss95"
Priority = 10
JobDefs = "POOL1"
Client = ss95
FileSet = "ss95"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle1"
Write Bootstrap = "/opt/local/var/bacula/working/ss95.bsr"
}
will use /dev/DRIVE0 .
I use different retention periods, so I solved it with many pools,
and it is rock stable now.
