vchanger is very simple to use. At home I set it up years ago and its pretty much set it and forget it. > can't bacula handle 2 tape drives at once? Or a > DVD-burner tower?

Tape drives yes bacula will can use more than 1 tape drive just like it can use more than 1 disk storage device. A single job can never use more than device. Also with multiple independent storage devices you would have to manage and schedule your jobs to each device instead of sending all jobs to an autochanger resource and let bacula handle things. I done this both ways and I can say the virtual autochanger is considerably easier to use.
