What you are trying to do is not supported by Bacula. The manual describes a way that you can "manually" deal with this situation by splitting the bootstrap file into multiple bootstrap files that you then restore. It is not an ideal solution. The best solution is to follow the example in the manual that shows you how to use mutliple pools with the stam storage device. It is possible that this feature (using multiple devices in the Storage daemon during a restore) is implemented in version 1.39, but it is untested and not really supported. Also, if you are using the same MediaType for all your storage devices, you will eventually have additional problems. A given MediaType (as documented) implies that the Volume can be mounted on any device with the same MediaType, which is clearly not the same if you use different mount points (directories) as you have done for your Volumes. > > -- > Mit freundlichen Gruessen / with kind regards > Rudolph Bott > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Megabit Informationstechnik GmbH Karstr.25 41068 Moenchengladbach > Tel: 02161/308980 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://megabit.net > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
