Well, I'm running a DIR with two SD's here (actually two such setups). This works fine, but I'm not doing any fancy stuff yet, just learning and trying to understand some things as I go. The setup is the result of historical and economic reasons; one drive is a DDS autoloader (where media are dirt cheap), the other one is a SLR100 autoloader (which is much faster and can store much more data). What I'd _like_ to do is running two DIRs and two SD's in some kind of "cross-over" configuration, such that I have two independent systems (DIR + SD on each system), where both systems can access the volumes from the other system as well [the idea is to be able to recover even if one of the backup servers or parts of the hardware like a tape drive fail]. I think this requires that both DIRs share one database (otherwise access to the "other" volumes would be non-trivial), but I have no idea if such a mode of operation is possible at all. Is such a setup possible at all?
