I haven't gotten this to work yet, that is my goal. The two options I have gotten are to turn my jbod into a raid or use "vchanger". I'm all for using RAID, but my co-workers don't want to too.. they are worried about the array getting corrupted and then we lose all our backups, where as in a jbod if a drive dies, we only lose what's on that drive. Personally, I'd rather use raid and that would end my threads on getting bacula to use multiple drives. ha ha I started looking at vchanger but as bacula is already complicated enough, I'd rather not toss another 3rd party software package into the mix... but if I have to I will. I'm wondering now if I could setup a bunch of volumes across the multiple drives and will bacula use the space however it wants to? I guess I can try and test this. Right now I have my storage daemon conf file setup with a device resource for each of my drives in the jbod box, I also have a storage resource setup in my director conf file for each of the drives in the box. When I manually create a volume it asks me which drive, volume name and which pool. So it /appears/ that bacula will write to multiple drives without using vchanger, but I seem to be missing something, because it's not working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
