The *vchanger(8)* utility is used to emulate and control a virtual
autochanger within the Bacula network backup system environment.
Backup volumes stored on multiple disk filesystems are mapped to a
single set of virtual slots, allowing an unlimited number of virtual
drives for concurrent backup jobs and easy, unlimited scaling to any
size by simply adding additional disks/filesystems,

virtual drives and an unlimited number of virtual slots spread
across an unlimited number of physical disk drives to be assigned
to a single autochanger. This allows unlimited scaling of the cirtual
autochanger simply by adding additional disk drives.
Vchanger is primarily deigned for use with removable disk drives. Its

By default, vcahgner will invoke bconsole and issue commands to Bacula
when certain operator actions are needed. When anything happens that
changes the current set of volume files being used, vchanger will
invoke bconsole and issue an 'update slots' command. For example,
when the operator attaches a removable drive defined as one of the
changer's magazines, the volume files on the removable drive must be
mapped to virtual slots. Since the volume-to-slot mapping will have
changed, Bacula will need to be informed of the change via the

vchanger to update state info and trigger 'update slots' if needed.
