Hi all I have a situation where we have a single tape library, (IBM 3581 Ultrium Tape Loader), which is connected via a fibre SAN to a mix of Intel Blade's, (running RH Linux or Win 2K), and a couple of P570 servers running AIX. I am trying to put together a multi-platform backup strategy and am investigating Bacula as an option.
My question is: I would like to set it up to do the backups to the drive directly on each of the platforms that can see the tape drive, only doing network backups where necessary to cut network load. We would be using only one tape per night, (LTO-3, lot's of space), but would need to co-ordinate the jobs so that the hosts pass the drive around seamlessly without fighting over it. Is this feasible with Bacula ? If so, how would you do it ? If not, any alternate suggestions ?
