There's no such limit. But going the multiple device will certainly make your daily operation more complicated (except if you have to implement complex retention scenario). I would go with spooling, bring all production to one device with spooling, and all devs to another stream. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux 4.10.13-1-default x86_64 GNU/Linux, nvidia: 375.66 Qt: 5.7.1, KDE Frameworks: 5.33.0, Plasma: 5.9.5, kmail2 5.5.0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
