Aaah, good point, with multiple SDs it could get confused as to which 
one it needs to talk to — though I'd have thought that specifying the 
destination Pool would take care of that.

If not, perhaps that's something that should be addressed?


In my configuration, I have two Storages on the same host, epsilon3-file 
and epsilon3-archive, both Media Type = File, with different paths as 
their Archive Devices, and my Copy jobs run from pool Full-Disk (Storage 
= epsilon3-file, Next Pool = Full-Archive) to pool Full-Archive (Storage 
= epsilon3-archive).
