Yeah, and bacula just seems to keep the drive status somewhere internally, but not in the DB where it could be queried externally.

And even a way to specify that a certain range of slots is to be only used for cleaning tapes. Then, putting this info into the DB would be nice as well. It's not like it changes often (relatively speaking) and again would let you query things better. We already have a Devices table, just adding in an Autochanger table would be nice.
