Problems understanding AI-Scheme

[Jan Hebler]

Hi

I have difficulties to understand the documentation of the AI-Scheme, especcially the storage definitions. The example reads:

Pool {

  Name = AI-Incremental

  Pool Type = Backup

  Recycle = yes                       # Bareos can automatically recycle Volumes

  Auto Prune = yes                    # Prune expired volumes

  Volume Retention = 360 days         # How long should jobs be kept?

  Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable

  Label Format = "AI-Incremental-"

  Volume Use Duration = 23h

  Storage = File1

  Next Pool = AI-Consolidated         # consolidated jobs go to this pool

} 

Pool {

  Name = AI-Consolidated

  Pool Type = Backup

  Recycle = yes                       # Bareos can automatically recycle Volumes

  Auto Prune = yes                    # Prune expired volumes

  Volume Retention = 360 days         # How long should jobs be kept?

  Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable

  Label Format = "AI-Consolidated-"

  Volume Use Duration = 23h

  Storage = File2

  Next Pool = AI-Longterm             # copy jobs write to this pool

}

in fact, i have the AI-Longterm too, but it is not referenced anywhere. The documentation also points to the "Using Multiple Storage Devices" howto. Are these Storage devices meant to point to the same Archive device or can i use different archive devices here?
