Hello,
If you are planning to use more than one Storage daemon to access the
tape drive, you should consider contacting Bacula Systems to get the
Enterprise version of Bacula which supports SAN shared tape storage with
a plugin. The other alternative is to use the community version and
partition your autochanger so that no drive sharing is involved. Even
then, you probably need expert help to ensure that Bacula doesn't get
confused about what Volumes can be uses by which Storage daemon (i.e.
make sure every SD has a unique Media Type).
Best regards,
Kern

Hi
I am setting up Bacula for backing up the data to the TAPES. I want to
design the following setup with Bacula:
1. The tapes/autochanger are connected via SAN to the client machines.
These client machines are hosting the files those need to be backed up.
2. The File daemon and Storage Daemon will be installed and configured
on Client machines.
3. The Director will be installed on separate machine which will host
only the Database. It will not connect directly to any autochanger
device neither to any partition whose backup will be required on tape.
In other words, it will only controlling/managing the backup jobs
Please advice if this design is correct or not.
Thanks in advance for answer.
