I think that is correct. Volume pools are, and volumes in a pool can come from just about any storage server. > Is there any workaround so that i can have several storage devices (PC/Linux > servers with 5terabyte diskspace in my case), WITHOUT the need to balance the > clients onto the storage devices by myself? Well, this is where I think you mean there is no support. When dealing with backups, you have to specify a backup device as well as a pool to backup to. A pool could have volumes from many different backup devices, but you can't just specify a pool to pull an available volume from, unless _I_ missed something in the reading. > If there is no workaround, does anyone know how much work it would be to > implement such a feature? At this time I think you manually have to assign each server to a specific storage device. They can all be part of the same pool but thats about it. I'm not sure what it would take to randomize a list of storage devices within a pool. -- Jesse Keating GameHouse -- Systems Engineer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
