Thanks Arno and Ralf:
I decided to go with Arno's approach and used different pool definitions
in the job definition, and then tied each pool definition to a separate
device.  Works like a charm, thanks again.

[Bacula-users] Incremental and full backups of the same host to different disks

2009-11-25 Thread Moby
It is my understanding that one must use the same job name for full and
incremental backups, otherwise Bacula is not able to perform an
incremental backup.
I have a need to send full backups of machines to one disk and
incremental backups to another disk.  If I have to use the same job
definition for both incremental and full backups (with incremental and
full backup levels being specified in the schedule definition), then how
can I send full backups to one disk and incrementals to another?

Thanks in advance for any help.
