Greetings - I am a new Bacula user. Installed it this weekend and am very very impressed with it so far. I've successfully backed up 28GB of data on my production servers with relatively little difficulty after messing with tar, rsync, and custom scripts over the last couple years.
My question: I have three pools defined (4 with default pool, but not using it). I am basically emulating the Full-pool, Diff-pool, and Inc-Pool setup as defined in the Bacula docs. I am currently backing up one machine to a file device specifically for that machine, using the above pools. I would like to do this exact same thing for my other machines - each with it's own file device, and the same configuration of Pools/Volumes. That being said, do I have to define a subset of identical pools for each machine that I add, or can I use the same pools I have defined already and just point each job/client to a different device? Will it create the pools/volumes under each device, or will it get confused? I'm not sure if the pools are more of a 'virtual defintion' of how to create volumes that you can apply anywhere, or if they are tied more closely to an instance. Thanks in advance.
