Hey Arno - thanks for responding. Try not to be totally high
maintenance here - but perhaps you can confirm I am on the right track.
Step 1
- I set up my two Device { } entries in my sd config
Device {
Name = tape1-sd
etc.
}
Device {
Name = tape2-sd
etc.
}
- and test them with btape
CHECK
Step 2
- I set up two Storage { } in my dir config
Storage {
Name = tape1
Device = tape1-sd
Media Type = DDS-4
etc.
}
Storage {
Name = tape2
Device = tape2-sd
Media Type = DDS-4
etc.
}
Step 3
- I revise my Job to reference a new Storage definition
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = tape1
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = "bighost"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Client = bighost-fd
FileSet = "myfileset"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/bighost.bsr"
}
Question - will Bacula use "tape2" as well because it sees that it uses
the same media type - or is there somewhere I should be reference both
Storage or Device declarations?
Thanks in advance (again!)

I tried to research the docs and the list - but I just can't quite

At my site, I have a lot more to backup than a single tape can
handle. It would be nice to get bigger drives - but the more cost
effective solution right now is to use several smaller tape drives.
Is it possible to have the backup fill one tape drive and then
continue to a second tape drive, etc.?
I don't quite see how to set up this strategy. Perhaps this has been
addressed in earlier post - but can't think of good keywords to
search for.
You don't have to set up anything special. Bacula handles this for
you. After all, this is not amanda :-)

Thanks in advance.
