On that subject, I have just set up 1 'device' per client so that I can
run the different clients in parallel while having one media file per
client. It works really really well and makes a huge difference to the
run time of the backup. The one annoying feature of that is that 'status
storage' command now prompts me to select one of 10 different Storages,
but in the end they all just give me the same information as they are
all the same sd.
Have you ever considered separating the 'Storage' and the 'Device' out
in the director config? The configuration would then look something
like:
Storage {
Name = name_of_server
Address = hostname/IP address
SDPort = 9103
Password = shh_its_a_secret
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 7
}
Device {
Name = name_of_device
Storage = name_of_server
Device = name_of_device_on_sd
Media Type = media_type
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
}
Maximum Concurrent Jobs would be specified with a server and a device
maximum, which would both be honoured by the director. Almost everything
that mentions a 'Storage' would need to be changed to 'Device', although
perhaps a 'Storage' would just be a synonym for 'Device' for backwards
compatibility...
How much pain would be involved in such a change? Am I the only one who
finds the existing implementation annoying? (if so, I'll either submit a
patch or never mention it again :)
