Hello,

we try to use some file locations for file based backups in one pool.
As we can not use the same "Media type" for different file path we
could use multiple "Storage" entries in the pool. But according to the
documentation this does not work:

"Be aware that you theoretically can give a list of storages here but
only the first item from the list is actually used for backup and
restore jobs."

So is there any other way to use multiple file (path) for one pool?

Thanks

Andreas

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but if you want to have a
single pool spanning over several directories, you might try to look
into vchanger and simulate a changer by "switching" directories.

Exactly ! I solved similar approach by using my own autochanger script.
It was for 17 version, but still work for 19v too.
Here is a memo:
