Hi,
I use backup to disk to backup my clients and I hit the slow restore
problem when backup jobs run concurrently and use the same storage
device/volume. The backup window is small and therefore jobs must run at
the same time.
My first intention was to create for each client a dedicated storage
device, similar like [1]. With this configuration each backup job is saved
on a sperated volume, no mixups and slow restore is gone. But the
configuration overhead is huge and for a new client I have to restart the
storage daemon.
During my web search I found the configuration of mashdot [2]. He use four
generic storage devices and use _all_ four in the Job Resource
configuration.
Job {
...
Storage =
PrimaryFileStorage,SecondaryFileStorage,TertiaryFileStorage,QuaternaryFileStorage
...
}
It's possible to define more than one storage device and the jobs will
select automatically the next free one until all are in used? I couldn't
find anything about this in the official documentation or in mailing list
archives.
If this is possible, why I'm getting the following errors when a jobs
starts during another is already running?
