The two other servers act as primary servers for the location they are in. So each backup server has it's own set of clients to back up. That's why I can't just clone the primary servers configuration. Anyway, I tend to do exactly this, but just to *have* the files there without using them. If I actually need them, I'll reconfigure the director by hand. This way I wouldn't have to mess with keeping the client lists in sync, and disable all clients that aren't on the dir's daily set of jobs. > > Dump the database to a text file. > > Use rsync to duplicate that text file, the bacula-*.conf files, and all > your backups to the other two locations. > > Done. > >> I'm not sure, if I have to be able to restore easily from all servers >> but the original box.

Do you have any idea, how I can have each director have it's own set of clients and still be able to restore the "other" clients? Let's say I only include client configuration and not job configuration, would I be able to modify the restore job? And how would a director react on having a different directors catalog imported into his own? Would that work at all? Or should I really be using multiple different directors with different databases on each server? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
