Do you mean http://bacula.org/rel-manual/Basic_Volume_Management.html#SECTION000254000000000000000 ?
We thought we could avoid this way of configuring bacula, because each pool contains about 46 volumes (5GB each as we have ~230GB per day/pool). This would result in having one folder with 276 pre-created symlinks (46 x 6). Do you still recommend this solution? Our current setup involves ~30 Hosts which are being backed up every night. > > It is possible that this feature (using multiple devices in the Storage > daemon > during a restore) is implemented in version 1.39, but it is untested and not > really supported.
