No Storage specification found in Next Pool "AI-Consolidated"

[Ruslan Pylypiuk]

I have tried to implement AI for my backup, however I always get the following error during consolidation step:
 No Storage specification found in Next Pool "AI-Consolidated".
Could someone please help and explain what I am doing wrong, here is my configs:

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?
  Label Format = "AI-Consolidated-"
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
}

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?
  Label Format = "AI-Incremental-"
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Next Pool = AI-Consolidated         # consolidated jobs go to this pool
}

Job {
    Name = "Test_consolidate"
    Type = "Consolidate"
    FileSet = "Test_incremental-fileset"
    Accurate = "yes"
    Client = Test_incremental-client
    Pool = AI-Consolidated
    Full Backup Pool = AI-Consolidated
    Incremental Backup Pool = AI-Incremental
    Messages = Standard
    Storage = bareos-2
}

Job {
    Name = "Test_incremental"
    Type = Backup
    Level = Incremental
    FileSet = "Test_incremental-fileset"
    Description = "Gitlab backup"
    Client = Test_incremental-client
    Accurate = yes
    Always Incremental = yes
    Always Incremental Job Retention = 3 minutes
    Always Incremental Keep Number = 3
    Pool = AI-Incremental
    Full Backup Pool = AI-Consolidated
    Incremental Backup Pool = AI-Incremental


    Priority = 10
    Write Bootstrap = "%c_%n.bsr"
    Messages = Standard
    Allow Mixed Priority = yes
    Allow Duplicate Jobs = yes
    Allow Higher Duplicates = yes
    Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10

    Storage = bareos-2
}

Device {
  Name = bareos-2
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /mnt/playground/backups
  LabelMedia = yes;      # lets Bareos label unlabeled media
  Random Access = yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;  # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
  Maximum Network Buffer Size = 98304
}

FileSet {
  Name = "Test_incremental-fileset"
  Include {
    Options {
      Signature = MD5
      Compression = LZ4
      noatime = yes
    }
    File = "/tmp/playground"
  }
}

Any tip or answer is appreciated

I think you would usually specify the Storage in the Pool definitions rather than the Job definitions. Either way, you will need two Storages defined, one for the Incremental Pool and one for the Consolidated Pool (usually done in /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/storage). I don't see either in the configuration you shared. The Device bareos-2 is not a Storage itself, though it may belong to one.
