Hi, I'm using bacula with file storage to backup my servers. Since a few of them are behind "slow" lines I want to parallelize backup runs but I'm currently stuck with implementing that.
I've got one storage definition (read: one directory I write volumes to), two pools, one for full dumps and one for incremental/differential updates, both set to automatically label new volumes as needed; in the Job Definition Prefer Mounted Volumes is set to no. I want to have up to $n appendable volumes in each pool so that I can back up $n servers in parallel without having to worry about volume fragmentation. With this setup there are two problems. Multiple backup runs which use the same pool get saved to the same volume, probably causing fragmentation, and backup runs which use a different pool are apparently blocked until the "Storage" is idle. What would be the best way to implement it (possibly avoiding to create a pool/storage for each server...)? best regards, Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
