The restore command of the bconsole tool already has the "pool" command line argument which could be used for volume selection. In my case with Bacula 9.6.7 it didn't work with copy jobs. It would be nice to make it work with newer Bacula versions (e.g. 11.x). Eric mentioned that MediaType might potentially be used in the selection algorithm. I am not sure if this is necessary if we get a working "pool=" argument. -- Josip Deanovic _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
