Thanks, Graham.  Unfortunately, everything is under one directory.

If your directory structure allows it, you could just soft link half your directories across to the new disk, move the data and change nothing.

 

If all your files are under one directory then this wouldn't help. Just throwing it in for your consideration.

Subject: [Bacula-users] running out of space question about adding 2nd hdd

Hi all,

I'm running out of space for my hard disk backups and I need to add another hard drive.  I'm not adding more clients at this time, but I need more space.

My question is the following:

Can I add the hard drive, move some of my client volumes from the old drive to the new drive, add a new storage device that uses the new hard drive, and then change the client job definitions (for the affected clients) to use the new storage device without causing any problems?  What effect if any would this have on restoring jobs that we're originally saved to the other device?

In my head it seems like it should work, but I always appreciate the experience of others.

Thanks,
Eric
