[Bacula-users] Restore single Job from two different Storages

[Rodrigo R. B. <rod...@gm...>]

Hello List

I've been trying to get help from the Bacula IRC Channel, but no success.

I have two tape Storages, TPA and TPB. For all my Clients, I run a Full
Backup which saves the data on TPA, and every subsequent Differential backup
uses the TPB tapes.

My problem is when making a Full restore from a Differential backup (i.e.,
Bacula will join the Differential and Full backup to restore the most
updated version of the backup). The Restore Job starts OK getting the tapes
from TPB, but when it goes for the tapes of the Full Backup on TPA, it stops
with a "wrong volume mounted" error. That's because Bacula tries to get a
TPA Volume on the TPB Storage, seems like Bacula doesn't know, at Restore
time, that the tapes of the Full Backup are on another Storage.

I've "worked around it" by restoring only the Full Backup first and then the
subsequent Differential Backups later, on top of the Full Restore, but I
don't know if this is the best solution.

Any ideas?
