Hello Stefan, > So do I *need* that to use CIFS as Storage? No, you don't need mhVTL to use CIFS as storage. Your question was about managing slots in Bacularis and this is not possible with this Bacula virtual disk changer. > I don't use that for my local installation where I use virtual disks > local to the bacula-sd ...

Yes, these advanced autochanger functions are not needed to use this disk autochanger in Bacula and Bacularis. > Sure, I don't see these tapes in the "manage autochanger tab" ... but it > doesn't matter, I just didn't remember correctly.

Your configuration is the autochanger config. I would not skip the autochanger term.
