Hi,
we have bacula in use with about 35 different FDs now. It works
brilliantly for us¹.
Our routine for each server is based on the example automated backup
routine described in the manual. We're not using tapes which some people
may frown on a little, we're using disk-based volumes. The

instance (which makes sense of course). However, if you add the IPv4 in:
FDAddresses = {
ipv4 = { addr = 0.0.0.0; port = 9102; }
ipv6 = { addr = :: }
}
It no longer binds to any IPv6 addresses.

Ah, I just assumed this problem was with Windows only. I never thought to
check a linux host. I can confirm this on Ubuntu with packaged bacula-fd
5.0.2.
It looks like the same problem applies to bacula-sd and bacula-dir.

It does much of what you want (current job duration, data transferred,

But I would still have the problem that I need a device tied up backing
up each client. The problem I am facing is that I need to backup lots of
slow clients, and I need to come up with something so I can back them up
all at the _same_ time on one or
config,
which would be much simpler :-)
