Do I need to use a virtual autochanger ? in fact I don't care about
what device I used per pool.
eg : if I have many file devices I order to access many file volumes
in one sd directory. I would like that bacula select automaticatly the
first available device in order to access the file volume.
Here are my File devices in sd conf
Device {
Name = "DataTest.0"
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /BaculaData/Test/
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = Yes;
Maximum Volume Size = 4G
}
Device {
Name = "DataTest.1"
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /BaculaData/Test/
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = Yes;
Maximum Volume Size = 4G
}
imagine 10 Devices named "DataTest.X"
Here are my pools in Dir config, one named "Sauvegarde" is to make
regular backup on few File servers. The other is to export on a LTO
device as long as possible.
Pool {
Name = Test
Storage = DataTest => My problem is here
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
# Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes
# Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 7 days # Short time
to make test
Label Format = "Bacula-Test-"
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G # Limit Volume size
to
something reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 256 # Limit
number of Volumes in Pool
Next Pool = ArchivageLTO
}
Pool {
#Pool pour l'archivage sur bande LTO
Name = ArchivageLTO
Storage = Tape => My problem is here
Pool Type = Backup
Label Format = "Bacula-LTO-"
Recycle = no
# Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = no
# Prune expired volumes
Maximum Volumes = 0
# unlimited number of Volumes in Pool
}
=> My problem is here = I can only specify 1 device .
You said one pool per job but I will have many job with the same
retention time and space limit.
I want to backup my File servers as long as it is possible with the
only limit of the space on the Disk.
I was going to make Pools in function of the kind of Data to use and
the "Value" of the data stored on it.
For eg : Financial and administrative Data of my company in a
different pool than the Webserver, the File Server or than the Mail
Server.
My LTO pool is only the destination of a copy job, in this case this
is an archive and I need to maybe 20 years later so I configure it
with an unlimited retention time.
Do I really need to make one pool per job ?
Thanks
Hugo
