If you organize it a bit more you can eventually do something like this
#Include all pure -dir conf
@|sh -c 'for f in /etc/bacula/dir.d/*.conf ; do echo @${f} ; done'
#Include all client conf
@|sh -c 'for f in /etc/bacula/clients.d/*.conf ; do echo @${f} ; done'

[Bacula-users] Bacula Catalog Backup to tape
Hi, I do my catalog backups to tape. I have an autoloader (Dell TL2000) with an LTO4 drive. I have created a pool Catalog containing two tapes. Since my catalog is not that big 8) all the catalog backups have been writen to the first tape in the pool. But I would like to switch the tape for every catalog backup - so first backup goes to first tape, second to second tape, third to first tape again, and so on. How is this posible with bacula?

But I would like to switch the tape for every catalog backup - so first backup goes to first tape, second to second tape, third to first tape again, and so on. How is this posible with bacula? One way is to set Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 on your Catalog pool resource (and don't forget to update contained volumes from that updated pool resource afterwards). This would make Bacula pick the next available volume from the pool after writing the first catalog backup on a volume. Obviously, this would only work if you intend to only use the volumes in this pool for backing up the catalog. Another way is to set Max Volume Use Duration on your pool resource to a value that is greater than the expected duration of a backup session but less than the time before the next backup. Personally, I'm using this contrived scheme to pefrorm full backup of a set of servers (plus catalog backup afterwards) on weekends, with the requirement that the whole backup session goes to a single tape and the next backup session (another week) goes to the next tape in the same pool. To achieve that I have the aforementioned value set to 24 hours. -- EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.

If you want to put more than 1 catalog on a tape use a different pool
for each of the tapes and use the schedule resource to schedule both
pools every other day.
John
A way to do it with both tapes in one pool would be a RunAfterJob
script, which changes the active tape to the status 'used' and the
inactive tape to 'append'.
Something along these lines:
#!/bin/bash
POOL=catalog
ACTIVE_TAPE=$(echo list media pool=$POOL | bconsole | grep Append | \
awk '{print $4}')
INACTIVE_TAPE=$(echo list media pool=$POOL | bconsole | grep Used | \
awk '{print $4}')
cat EOF | bconsole
update volume=$ACTIVE_TAPE volstatus=Used
update volume=$INACTIVE_TAPE volstatus=Append
EOF
