Hello,
I have the following problem. I set up two storage devices (Storage1 and
Storage2) and connected tapes with them, that are connected to one (the
same pool). I'd like to achieve such functionality that when the free
space is ending on tapes on storage1, bacula automatically switches
from ta

Hi!
I have some question about automatic volume recycling described in Bacula

later recycled) because I seems that the Volume Retention period don't begin

Hi!
I have some problem with upgrade Bacula from version 1.38.11 to 3.0.1. I did
steps below:
1. I ran a few backups (Full, Incremental, Differential) by Bacula 1.38.11.
They were ok.
2. I compiled Bacula 3.0.1 as the same options as Bacula 1.38.11.
3. I upgraded Bacula.
4. I ran databas

Hi,
In Bacula documentation there is a backup scheme with explanation
communications between Bacula daemons. I understand that scheme but I can't
find a restore scheme. I created this scheme and I would ask you. Is it good
reasoning? If not, please correct me.
Restore scheme is here http://www.i
