Er, depends on what yo understand by "simultaneously/distributed". If you mean several copies on different backup media, the migration/copy feature of bacula is probably what you want. But AFAIK only the migration feature is implemented in the current development code. I.e. the migrated job will be on both volumes, but the original job record is purged from bacula's database. The volume with the original will therefore be recycled by following jobs, if all jobs on the volume are purged, unless you mark it read-only manually. If you do that, you still lost the information which original job is on which media. Probably not very useful in a realistic scenario... So I guess you have to wait until real copy jobs are implemented. This is something I would love to have too... :-) The workaround might be running two full jobs to different pools/devices, if one can afford the overhaed of running the same full job twice. Differential/incremental jobs would of course be related to the last full job run and not to any of the two, as I would expect it to be the case for copied jobs. You cannot write a job multiplexed to multiple devices in parallel, if that is what you mean. >> 3. is it possible to run bacula over a infiniBand network? >> bacula doesn't care for the hardware layer. Its just plain TCP/IP. If infiniband supports that, I see no problem here. Regards, Georg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
