I'm looking into this as well for my disk-only v3.0.0 Bacula system.
Currently, I have the bootstrap .bsr file stored locally by default on the
dir/sd in /var/lib/bacula/bin/working.
In the Install and Configuration Guide for v3.0.0, on page 37, section 3.1
Critical Items, one of the bullet points states "Write a bootstrap file to a
separate system for each backup job." Presumably, this separate system could
mean the same hard drive where the volume exists.
In my bacula-sd configuration file, I specify device:
Device {
...
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /mnt/bacula/volumes
...
}
As suggested by Install and Configuration Guide to store the bootstrap file on
a separate system, I could specify a Job to Write Bootstrap as such:
Job {
Name = client
...
Write Bootstrap = "/mnt/bacula/volumes/bootstraps/client.bsr"
}
Same question as morty: Would storing the bootstrap on the same hard drive as
the volume be the best method for storing the bootstrap on a separate system?
