Could you please say few words about "Job Storage group support"
feature.
What exactly is that?

I tried to search for it on the net, including the documentation but
couldn't find anything that would explain what Job Storage group support
might be.


Regards!

Hello Josip,

This new StorageGroup feature allows you to specify more than one Storage in a 
Job or Pool.

For example:
----8<----
Job {
  Name = Test
  Storage = Storage_1, Storage_2, Storage_3, ...
  StorageGroupPolicy = (ListedOrder|LeastUsed)
  ...
}
----8<----

Then, when Bacula starts a job, if it cannot reach the first one for some 
reason, or the first one rejects the job (ie: some
mis-configuration issue, or devices are disabled on it), then the next one is 
tried, and so on until it finds one that works.

The `StorageGroupPolicy` setting allows you to tell Bacula what criteria to use 
when selecting
the storage. The default is
`ListedOrder` and will be used if not specified.

The `LeastUsed` policy checks all of the specified Storages and chooses the one 
with the least number of jobs currently
running on it.

I understand there are more `StorageGroupPolicy` options being planned.


Hope this helps,
Bill
