Hello there,
I am new to the Bareos and hope someone can steer me to the right direction
or point to documentation which might be able to help.
I am looking to set up a backup process which will process 350+ TB per
week. I have a tape library with multiple tape drives. My plan was to set
up 1x Bareos Director with 2x Bareos Storage Devices. Both of the Storage
Devices would point to the same Autoloader but will have access to
different tape drives. Each would get access to half of the tape drives. Is
there a way to link both Storage Devices into a single storage on the
Director, so that the Director knows that both have access to the same
volumes?
Is there even a need to have multiple Storage Devices when using a single
library or am I overthinking it? I am using VMs which would allow, with
minimal configuration changes, migrate them to a different host.
I have tried:
Adding two addresses in the config file on the director. However, this
results in only the second (last declared?) device being seen by the
director.
Example of config:
*Storage { Name = TAPE0 Address = bareos-sd0 Address = bareos-sd1
Password = "password" #password is the same on both SD0 and SD1 Device =
AL0 #both SD0 and SD1 have the same autoloader configured (w/different tape
drives) Media Type = LTO7 Auto Changer = yes}*
Creating two files on the director which will contain the same storage
name. But this results in error when attempting to create a duplicate.
*bareos-dir: ERROR in lib/parse_conf.cc:305 Attempt to define second
Storage resource named "TAPE0" is not permitted.*
Example of config:
*Storage { Name = TAPE0 Address = bareos-sd0 Password = "password"
#password is the same on both SD0 and SD1 Device = AL0 #both SD0 and SD1
have the same autoloader configured (w/different tape drives) Media Type =
LTO7 Auto Changer = yes}Storage { Name = TAPE0 Address = bareos-sd1
Password = "password" #password is the same on both SD0 and SD1 Device =
AL0 #both SD0 and SD1 have the same autoloader configured (w/different tape
drives) Media Type = LTO7 Auto Changer = yes}*
I also considered splitting the library into two virtual libraries with two
separate autoloaders, but in that case they can't share the volumes which
means in case I need to restore I cut the number of available tape drives
in half.
Any recommendations and suggestions are much appreciated.
Bareos version: 20.0.1
Thank you,
Dmitri
