I have recently started using Bacula and have a couple of questions regarding volume pools. I am using 7.2 version, and we have 4 Linux servers with a total of about 100GB of data to backup.
1. We have two different storage devices that are in different locations (because of bandwidth limitations). Should we be creating different Volume Pools for each storage location? I've tried testing using one pool, and two pools. When I use one pool and a backup job is run it displays an error "Marking Volume "Vol-0001" in Error in Catalog." and then it continues to run. When I setup two different volume pools it doesn't display this error. 2. I've noticed that some people recommend setting up different volume pools for Full, Differential and Incremental jobs. Is this still a recommended strategy for Bacula with backing up to disk, and if so when would someone use this strategy? The documentation here http://blog.bacula.org/whitepapers/CommunityDiskBackup.pdf doesn't mention this. I don't want to set things up, and then our volumes grow too large and have to re-do everything.
