This approach can help too: besides doing them in parallel (limited to 5
concurrent jobs because ultimately it all winds up on the same disks), I also
divided them into 4 groups.
From the 1st to 4th Friday night each month, a full backup is done of one
group and differential of the other three. If there's a fifth Friday, it's
differential for all.
I plan to create one device per client.
Then there are a few things to consider regarding pools and organization
of volume files. Basically, all volumes used by a client, regardless of
pool, must be in the same directory. If the devices for two clients use
different directories but the same pool(s), then their devices must have
a different MediaType. This is because Bacula will assume that it can
load a volume with a particular MediaType into any device having that
same MediaType..
As pointed out offline, attribute spooling can be important for parallel (i.e.
concurrent) jobs. The theory being: database access while writing files slows
down both processes.
In my case, the database server is on another machine.
I am using only one pool and device for all, just raised 'Maximum Concurrent
Jobs' above 1.
That causes interleaving, but on disk that should be no problem.
I'm not sure I want interleaving.
If each client has its own device, then there will never be interleaving
unless multiple jobs for the same client are running simultaneously.
Retention is the same for all clients and jobs in my case. If that is not so
for you, you may better go for multiple pools/devices.
Everything has the same retention period.
