Ok. Either use pools like config-full, config-diff, bin-full, bin-incr etc., or use a separate storage device for each client with its own dedicated directory to store the volumes (Don't forget to use distinct media types for each storage device!). > I really would like not to have one large files which > contains all of the sub files.

For "normal" file storage, when you turn on automatic labeling and restrict the number of jobs, size of the volumes, or volume use time, Bacula will automatically create volumes as needed. Additionally, you can implement a virtual autochanger which works with files, not tapes. This setup allows you to have multiple volumes per storage device in access. > As I said I may be going about this the wrong way.
