How would the the various parts communicate if you're running multiple instances on different ports? I would think just by creating multiple jobs would create multiple socket streams and do the same thing. On 2011-06-28 02:09, Christian Manal wrote: - File daemon is single threaded

Problem is not really just tape I/O speeds but the ability to get data to it. I.e. the SD is running at about 50% cpu overhead right now (single core) so it could possible handle (2) LTO4 drives assuming a new SD is not spawned off per drive? I don't really need 'rait' itself as that

Hi all We're using Bacula for some backups with three SDs so far, and I wonder if it's possible somehow to allow for client / laptop backups in a good manner. As far as I can see, this will need to either be client-initiated, client saying I'm alive! or something, or having a polling process

Steve, You should be able to run multiple file daemons on the storage device, but a better idea might be to run the backups (and restores) off the clients, as many in parallel as your system can handle. Look into concurrency. If you split up the fileset into separate jobs you can have them

Yes, in this case the 'client' is the backup server, as I had a free slot for the tape drives and due to the size didn't want to carry this over the network. If I split this up to separate jobs, say one job per mount point (have ~30 mount points at this time) that may work however I may be
