Hi folks,
I am building a new backup server that is going to replace the old one.
The old backup server uses Bacula ver. 9.2.2 with a virtual tape library
(mhvtl). I have found mhvtl a bit tricky, mostly when updating the OS
(CentOS 7.8), as it is necessary to recompile the mhvtl kernel driver.
Mhvtl also seems a bit outdated, with intermittent development and
updates, also problematic with newer and coming Linux kernel versions. I
also want to jump off the RedHat train, as I see it deviate more and
more from mainstream Linux. Therefore, I would prefer to choose another
solution.
I have studied the Bacula documentation and it seems to be possible to
use disk based backup with auto changer role. I plan to use volumes with
a size of around 200Gbytes, making the setup fairly flexible, not making
a too big hole when volumes need to be purged. Total disk space is
around 30TB.
If somebody has got experience with disk based, multi volume Bacula
backup, I would be grateful about some information (tips, what to
expect, pitfalls, etc.).
Best regards,
Peter
