Hello Stefan,

The manage autochanger features in Bacularis are used for the SCSI changers.

Your autochanger configuration is the Bacula virtual disk changer that
is not displayed on the manage autochanger tab.

To use the autochanger on CIFS share, that will be possible to use
with this extended Bacularis autochanger support, you could use VTL
software that emulates tape devices on the SCSI bus. It can be
realized for example by mhVTL virtual tape library that you can find
here:
