Hi,
I am trying to make bacula use multi drives in a Fujitsu Tape Library
with no success. Recently I added 3 more drives to bacula configuration
to reduce backup time. But bacula insists on using only the first drive.
Backup jobs are not sent to other suitable tape drives. Jobs are started
at the same time and queued. Jobs in the queue is waiting for the
previous job to finish even if there is a valid media (tape) for the
pool and other drives are idle. I can mount other drives manually. Is
there any other setting I'm missing to make use of multi-drives? Please
advise.
Regards,
Suleyman
