Summary0000449: VirtualFull from device A to device B not working.
DescriptionI'm trying to do a VirtualFull from device "diskfile"
to device "usbmedia".
"usbmedia" is an auto-mounted usb-disk.
"diskfile" is on an internal harddrive.

First run of VirtualFull works.
Second is not working (see "Error messages")

See "Points to note" for a summary of what differs
between the devices "diskfile" and "usbmedia".

The ordinary full/incremental/differental backups to
device "diskfile" is working.

This may be related to 0000283. (?)
Steps To ReproduceIn bconsole
run job="Allmh_server_VirtualFull" NextPool="VirtualFull"
This first run works.
Repeat the command "run job=..."
This give error.

Work around
===========

purge volume="Virtual_Full-0035"
This will leave volumes "Virtual_Full-0035, and the
next volume the usb-disk.
Then purge this new volume. And the VirtualFull backup
will reuse volume "Virtual_Full-0035" the next time.

Test 1
------

  ArchiveDevice = "/mnt/bareos/usb-media_1/"

Device {
  Name = diskfile
  MediaType = AllmhFile
  ArchiveDevice = "/opt/bareos/working/filestorage/"

Here "ArchiveDevice" differ.

Here "ArchiveDevice" and "MediaType" differ.

The Virtual Full Backup always consolidates a former full backup with additional incrementals or differentials.

As you say yourself, it works the first time. If you want it to work the next time again, you need to somehow move the new full backup to your source pool.

You can do that either with a copy job or by moving the volume that contains the full backup to your source pool.
