[bareos-users] Adding additional storage to use for backups

[Shawn Taylor]

I have added an additional storage device to the configuration by defining
a device in /etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/device/ and defining a new storage
location in /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/storage/File.conf

Now if I login to bconsole and execute *status storage=backup1* I get a
status that looks fine.

If I pull a status on the default location like *status storage=File *I get
the exact same result with one exception. With *File* I get

Device status:

Device "FileStorage" (/var/lib/bareos/storage) is not open.

With *backup1* I get no Device status message at all. Is this behaviour
normal?

Have I misconfigured this new device?

Thanks,

Shawn
