If your drobo device is a SAN, you can a device mapper driver to strip all the block devices together, mount it and set a File storage in the mounted directory. regards Le 26/10/2011 00:26, David Noriega a crit: Is it possible to have a backup job write to more then one storage device?

Re: [Bacula-users] Large job, many small storage devices
Drobo is more like a poor man's san. It does connect via iscsi, but its BeyondRaid tech only supports ext3/ntfs/fat filesystems. So LVM is out of the question. I've setup vchanger and got that working. 2011/10/26 Alexandre Chapellon a.chapel...@horoa.net If your drobo device is a SAN, you can a device mapper driver to strip all the block devices together, mount it and set a File storage in the mounted directory. regards Le 26/10/2011 00:26, David Noriega a écrit : Is it possible to have a backup job write to more then one storage device?

Bacula normally does not do this on its own. However I believe you can get it to do this using the virtual autochanger. http://sourceforge.net/projects/vchanger/ Assuming you can address/mount all luns at the same time, the key is to make each lun a virtual magazine containing a certain number of bacula volumes. I would make these fixed sized volumes. Then send all jobs to the virtual autochanger device and let bacula manage how it fills the magazines.
