Backup Central

I'm trying to do a restore of some files I backup. It reads my
Differential, and Tape pools with out issue. When it gets to the
Incremental File I get this.

04-Jan 10:34 bacula-sd JobId 8408: Please mount Volume
"Incr0169" for: Job: RestoreFiles.2012-01-04_10.25.06_17
Storage: "Differential" (/backup/differential)
Pool: Disk_Full
Media type: File


The file labeled Incr0169, lives in /backup/Incremental. If I copy or
symlink the file's around the backup works. I'm not sure what is going
on, but how can I fix it so I dont have to symlink or move files around
when I'm doing a restore.

Thanks

The big problem is a single Job can not switch storage devices (unless
there was some change in bacula that I have not seen yet.).

That would be an issue. But the job also switched from my Tape library
to the Differentials with out an issue.

I guess they fixed that then sorry for the noise. I will have to check

At least for tape to File moves. Also my Tape Library is on a different
system from my differential/incremental pools. That could be why it
worked.

Craig,

I suspect this is because the media type for both your Incremental
and Differential pools is "File" so bacula assumes that it can access
Incr0169 via the /backup/Differential device. I got round this by
having different media types for my different file devices, e.g.
FileFull, FileDiff and FileInc.

Cheers,

Ewan

That makes sense. I will have to try that out. If I change the type
Will that affect my current backups or will they be updated
automatically?
