Stefan,

Can you share some details about your current process to predict what media
will be needed, including information about your pools and volumes inside
them?

I am not aware of a tool that forecasts what media will be needed by jobs
scheduled in the future, but that doesn't mean that such a tool doesn't
exist. Hopefully others can contribute here.

It does occur to me that perhaps we could provide suggestions to automate
the creation of a list of media based on the existing process you currently
use, via bconsole commands and parsing the output. To do this we would need
to better understand your process for selecting media for upcoming jobs.

I will send some general information about interacting with bconsole from a
script, and bacula admin jobs in the next email. If you don't need that
information you can ignore that email.

Regards,
Robert Gerber
