Thanks, Dimitri. I am backing up shared data. I've done some testing with
independent bacula-fd instances running at the same time with identical
configuration on both nodes. Bacula-dir is configured to connect to the
client at the floating IP address. It seems to work well. I have failed
over the floating IP address with Pacemaker in both direction and Bacula
seems to keep working as expected. I just wanted to make sure that I'm not
doing something that is bad for Bacula that is going to hurt me later.
Thanks for your input.
Regards,
Rich Otero
