How about using mirroring using raid1 ? (you'd probably have to buy a thirs 200gb). This way, you achieve data synchronisation easily, always have a local copy from which to run restores and you cycle between 2 disks to keep an offsite copy. Regards, -- Mikael Kermorgant

Good questions. The backups run concurrently, so the only waiting is on the max jobs parameter. But, yes, more than one job is written to the tape at the same time. This also keeps the data rate up and the tape drive busy, so even if one client slows down momentarily the drive won't have to sto

A few weeks ago there was a short thread on a similar theme. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.general/31927 and other posts in the thread. In that thread, the on-site disk-volumes were written first and then copied to tape for off-site protection. However your requ

I currently have my "on-site" bacula performing backups to a large LVM partition (no tapes). Some extra stuff gets copied to that partion (ie. bacula db dump,etc...) and then gets rsync'd through a ssh connection over the internet to an "off-site" LVM. One server has a monthly "full" backup th

I apologize if I was ambiguous, it was unintentional. I use the schedule to run a single job for each client, all starting at 10 PM, with a limit of 10 concurrent jobs. So, about 20 jobs are initiated, and 10 run while the rest wait. When one of the running jobs terminates, a waiting job sta

Nick, I use a similar approach with one significant difference and a few small ones. I have have periodic (daily and weekly) pools and write (in parallel jobs for all the clients) all the backups to one volume to save disk space and reduce the management complexity. This media goes off site.
