If you think about the bacula disk "autochangers" as if they were physical tape libraries with many tape drives onside each, it makes more sense. It would be impossible for Library A to send its robot to retrieve a tape from Library B, since they are two separate units, quite probably at different

Why different autochangers? Are they gong to different storage devices? Do you have multiple bacula SDs? I have briefly read through, but if the problem is that you want to direct jobs to use specific autochangers, i think you must use a unique mediatype for each autochanger. Otherwise, it may ch

Hello Daniel, Here you can find it in the Bacula documentation: "If you want to tie Bacula to using a single Storage daemon or drive, you must specify a unique Media Type for that drive. This is an important point that should be carefully understood. Note, this applies equally to Disk Volumes. If
