Not at present. You could always synchronise between them if you have several DB servers and are sufficiently paranoid. My issue was, if the bacula DB server goes down to the point of data loss, I have a backup less than 24 hours old and can bootstrap it back up. If Bacula is on the main DB server, when that goes down I have to bootstrap back up _and_ face a queue of anxious people at my office door. This way if/when the main server goes down Bacula can quickly restore from the last backup, etc Given the opportunity I'd keep all the backup hardware physically separated from the other systems as well as logically separated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
