Hello,

Maybe you could use the "virtual autochanger" resource:

This will not work as expected. If the ArchiveDevice in the two Device resources specifies different directories (mountpoints), then the two Device resources cannot have the same MediaType. This is because Bacula expects to be able to load any volume that has MediaType=File into any Device having that same MediaType, and a volume in /sdb1/bacula/backup cannot be loaded into Device vDrive-1, not can a volume in /bacula/backup be loaded into vDrive-2.

To use multiple HDDs as a single autochanger, you must:

Define each Device resource to have a unique MediaType, if using the native virtual autochanger

or

Use vchanger, which is designed for using multiple removable HDDs (See http://sourceforge.net/projects/vchanger/)

or

Combine the HDD partitions using LVM2 or md so that there is only a single mountpoint
.


bacula-sd.conf:

Autochanger {
Name = VChanger
Changer Device = /dev/null
Changer Command = "" # versão 5.2.6. For 7.0.5 version, use /dev/null
Device = vDrive-1, vDrive-2
}

Device {
Name = vDrive-1
Drive Index = 0
Device Type = File
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /bacula/backup
...
}
Device {
Name = vDrive-2
Drive Index = 1
Device Type = File
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /sdb1/bacula/backup # is this your mount point?
...
}

In your bacula-dir.conf (or wherever you have your storage definiton for director):

Storage {
Name = MyVirtualAutochanger
Address = X.X.X.X
SDPort = 9103
Password = "xxxxxxxxxx"
Device = VChanger
Media Type = File
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = XX
Autochanger=yes
}

Best regards,
Ana

    I would like to set up bacula - well, my first steps have been
    successful.

    All my backups are written to /bacula/backup. But / has only
    900GB. So I want bacula to write to /sdb1/bacula/backup, too.
    /sdb1 has another 950GB of space. The sum of available
    backup-space should be 1850GB HDD:

    Well, I got the following config of /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf:

    Okay - now I would like to add another device. I guess I could
    just add a second entry like this:

    >
    > Device {
    >   Name = FileStorage
    >   Media Type = File
    >   Archive Device = /sdb1/bacula/backup
    >   LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label
    unlabeled media
    >   Random Access = Yes;
    >   AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
    >   RemovableMedia = no;
    >   AlwaysOpen = no;
    > }
    >

    ?

    Do I have to change something else so that bacula is able to write
    more than 900GB - if the first 900GB are "full" it should switch
    to the second hdd.


    Thank you very much :-)
