[Bacula-users] Use multiple HDDs to backup files to

Hi there, thank you very much. There have been editable values on some bacula-configurations. In 2 of 3 cases the value has been 20 - in one case (bacula-dir.conf) the value was set to 1. how can I make sure that the concurrent jobs are going to the same value?

Alright - I solved it using LVM. Now I've got another question: Is it possible to run multiple backups at the same time? This is my bacula-sd.conf at the moment: # # Default Bacula Storage Daemon Configuration file # # For Bacula release 5.2.6 (21 February 2012) -- debian jessie/sid #

Now I've got another question: Is it possible to run multiple backups at the same time? Yes of course. You most likely have to increase the maximum concurrent jobs setting in 3 or so places to do so and if you only have a single device in your storage make sure the concurrent jobs all go to

In 2 of 3 cases the value has been 20 - in one case (bacula-dir.conf) the value was set to 1. how can I make sure that the concurrent jobs are going to the same value? They do not need to be the same value. They all control different levels of concurrency (jobs, individual clients,

Okay, so because the dir-conf was set to 1, there was only one job running at the same time. Now I set it to 5 - so there will be 5 jobs running? So how can I make sure that all jobs are being written to the same volume? +--

Thank you Josh. I read in the Best Practices for Disk Based Backup white paper this recommendation (different media types for different mount points). Lots of people were reporting that this was working fine. So I had been testing the backup with this configuration, not the restores. Now I see

Re: [Bacula-users] Use multiple HDDs to backup files to

Do you have some specific reason to need to have these two volumes separate? You might be best off using LVM to create a single logical drive. That would certainly be a more flexible solution long term. Bryn On 2015-05-20 09:32 AM, SPQR wrote: I would like to set up bacula - well, my first

I would like to set up bacula - well, my first steps have been successful. All my backups are written to /bacula/backup. But / has only 900GB. So I want bacula to write to /sdb1/bacula/backup, too. /sdb1 has another 950GB of space. The sum of available backup-space should be 1850GB HDD: Well,
