It looks like the error has to do with some recent "optimization" I added to the select statement: I had wanted to sort copy jobs by job size so the big jobs would run first (during the night) so it would be easier to stop the copy jobs during the day if access was needed to the lto5 drive. Still we have many copy jobs failing, but not as many as before as we now randomize job order more or less. Still I think it's a bit brain-dead by bacula that it's unable to sort out which storage and pool a certain job used during the online backup, so all jobs wait on the general "File" storage instead of using the correct storage device. I've heard it on the grapevine that some major changes to copy job logic and / or disk-based volume mgmt might trickle down into the community version, any more info on this? Is there a way I can manually trigger a copy job via text file where I can provide the job id, storage and read pool to be used?
