Do you need to have separate volumes for each client? Normally on network-based backup you have rather few types of client, grouped on the basis of the retention times for the data that the clients hold, and all clients in one group backup to the same pool, same device and same storage > I'm able to use the "@" directive to include a per-client file in > bacula-dir.conf.
