I did something like this with our backups, dividing them up in order to decrease the amount of time necessary for backups. At the time I conceived this system, we had about 56TB of data. For historic reasons our backups were made from NFS exports from a single central NAS fileserver, because it was proprietary, I couldn't directly access the fileserver any other way. (This has changed but I haven't made substantial changes to the procedure yet.) I have two tape libraries for this each with two drives, and both support partitioning. I partitioned the two libraries so that from the computer's perspective I have 4 libraries. Our filesystems are composed primarily of user directories and working group directories. I calculated the size of each of these directories and then used a basic bin-packing algorithm to subdivide them into four groups each being assigned to a parition. A preperation script is used to mount each directory as a separate NFS mount in its respective "group" directory. The groups were sized such that the ratio of the data to the capacity of a given library's partition were more or less the same for the four groups. I created four pools, four jobs, for storage devices, etc., all to match up with the 4 library paritions and four groups, essentially creating 4 complete backup jobs. When it's time to take new base backups, I repeat the calculation, bin-packing part and run the update the mount points to redistribute the data. It did cut down the time required to do base backups substantially. I was also able to remove a set of files that while only occupied about a terabyte, contained tens of millions of tiny files that massively slowed down the backup process whenever it hit that spot. Perhaps you have similar conditions on your filesystems?

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula splitting big jobs in to two
I'm in a somewhat similar boat, I don't have 70TB, but I do have 21.5TB and LTO3 equipment (max 80 MB/sec). If it were possible to keep a tape drive streaming constantly without ever having to change tapes or unloading it would still take me many days to finish. The easiest way to start splitting things up is at the root filesystem level for your data directory. I assume you don't have 70TB in files just all thrown together in one big directory, there is probably some sort of organizational structure? In my case we generate a new directory at the root level each year and then put the year's work in to that. I create a separate fileset for each individual year. I then have a separate job for each year. Using JobDefs and a common schedule minimizes the configuration work, you end up with nothing more really than a Job and a Fileset, each with only a few lines in your config file. Look for something like this in how your data is laid out. Just remember to create additional jobs as new stuff is added - again in my case we're only doing this once a year. I have the root directory of the file shares locked so new folders can't be created by anyone but the admins, this allows me to ensure the correct backup config is added at the same time.
