Hi! I have set up a bacula 2.0.3 server with an autochanger and several clients. My default pool directs to the tape. So my backup lasts a long time because all clients have to wait while one client does his backup. To speed up the backup I consider to create an additional disk pool as the default pool to get more then one client backed up simultaneous and than migrate the files to the next tape which lays on the tapes.
Although I heave read http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Migration.html and all the referenced parts of the manual I haven't found an answer to one of this questions. 1. Is bacula aware to update the bootstrap files (/var/spool/bacula/client.bsr) after migrating the files from disk pool to tape pool? 2. Is it possible to begin to migrate the files automatically from disk pool to tape if the disk pool grows up to i.e. 60%? 3. What is the best way to create this disk pool (2 files sized 1 GB each?)? 4. How big has this disk pool to be? What happens with the backup job if the disk pool becomes full. Does is automatically start the migration and after that continues backing up that client?
