Okay.. so here's my setup:
1 x Badass opteron 2TB server w/ RAID10 storage/etc/etc
3 x Normal wimpy servers and workstations whose cumulative total
"standard" storage space exceeds that of the server
I use the big server as my primary.. er.. server, and the others are
older machines that I still have lying around. I want to backup the
server to the wimpy workstations to eliminate the server's PCI-e card
as a single point of failure.
Tape drives are not an option: I might as well buy another server for
the cost of a single tape drive. :(
How can I limit per-device how much space bacula eats? These are
multipurpose machines and I don't want to fill their drives up with
bacula data. (Free Space Command seems to only run for non-File
media.)
Is there a trick to getting Bacula to automatically use the next
storage daemon in line when backing up a large File Set in a single
job? My job definition lists:
Storage = File,File-shog,File-intrigue
.. "File" has three archive devices, File-shog/intrigue are on two
other machines.
I realise I can set multiple NFS mounts for use in a single storage
daemon--but then I'm bypassing bacula.
I also realise I can set bacula-specific quotas on the drives in
question for the bacula user--but then I'm bypassing bacula again
there too.
I honestly have been searching through the mailing list archive. :-)
Hints would be much appreciated. Thanks!
