I have this configured and it is working fine. The same tape library reads/writes LTO-3 and LTO-5 HP tapes. Is this could be best configured? Yes, I think. If we could set "Media type = LTO-3. LTO-4". But this is still not implemented and I´m not sure about the difficulties this should represent. Because in database we have a volume (tape) associated with a media type. Maybe if we could have another "media type" directive for pools. So we could say: this device can read/write LTO-4 and LTO-5 types, but the volumes in this pool are from media type = LTO-5. > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Bacula-users mailing list > Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users >
