I'm setting up Bareos 16 on Centos 6. I've a Dell TL2000 with two LTO7 drive, backing up large volumes of data to tape only, not using disk at all (though happy to use some if that makes life better).
I'd *like* to be able to restore files using one drive even when the other one is being used for backing up. I'm dealing with fairly large sets of data (at least three sets of 20TB RAID, so over a number of tapes), and that process works fine. The issue is that a Full backup takes days (and yes, I'll work on reducing this), and there's a really good chance someone's going to want a restore job run while the backups are taking place. Issues I can see: 1. A restore being needed from a tape currently in use (being backed up to). 2. The autochanger being in use (changing tapes for the backup) when the restore job needs to load a tape. Questions: 1. Is this an unreasonable thing to want to do? 2. Do people do this? 3. What obvious documentation have I failed to read or parse (so yes, please say RTFM, but give a hint about where!)? 4. Are there more issues other than the one above?
