[Bacula-users] multi-drive setup

2007-11-01 Thread James P. Kinney III
I have a tape library (VXA Autopak) with two tape drives. I am trying to
get bacula setup to run 2 backup jobs at once so that one job goes to
one drive and the other job is handled by the second drive.

It seems like Max Concurrent Jobs is what I need to be looking at but
the manual reads like that is for splitting a single backup process over
multiple storage devices. I just want to run multiple jobs onto multiple
devices individually.

I have the following stuff set up in bacula-dir.conf:

Job {
  Name = alice
  JobDefs = WindowsJob
  Client = alice
  Prefer Mounted Volumes = No
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
  Schedule = WeeklyCycle
}

Director {# define myself
  Name = backupdir
  DIRport = 9101# where we listen for UA connections
  QueryFile = /etc/bacula/query.sql
  WorkingDirectory = /var/bacula
  PidDirectory = /var/run
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
  Password = * # Console password
  Messages = Daemon
}

Client {
  Name = alice
  Address = 192.168.1.25
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
  Password =   # password for FileDaemon
  File Retention = 8 days# 30 days
  Job Retention = 8 days# six months
  AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

Storage {
  Name = autopak
  Device = VXA1a, VXA1b
  Media Type = VXA1
  Password = tapedrive
  SDPort = 9103
  Address = backups
#  Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
} 
  
Storage {
  Name = VXA1a
  Device = VXA1a
  Password = tapedrive
  SDPort = 9103
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
  Address = backups
  Media Type = VXA1
}

Storage {
  Name = VXA1b
  Device = VXA1b
  Password = tapedrive
  SDPort = 9103
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
  Address = backups
  Media Type = VXA1
}

Are both jobs in the same pool? If so you will have to manually load
and mount the tapes because bacula will only normally load a single
pool in a single drive.
