I'm aware of a case of Bacula working with an Amazon VTL service. We are
having occasional drive timeout issues. IMHO this is causing some issues
with tapes being unloaded to different slots than that they were
originally. After the timeout issues, the slot/volume information in
Bacula's catalog are outdated for some volumes and an update slots shows
that (also we can see this slot mess in an mtx output). We had configured
Maximum Changer/Rewind/Open Wait directives to 900 as shown by lsscsi
output for the drives. Also we had changed mtx-changer script value for
timeout. We are still having some timeout issues with this configuration
and now we are doing some tests with this value increased to 960.
