Absolutely...assuming that you are using pre-defined disk volumes and are not letting Bacula create them on the fly. Just create symlinks to the real location of each disk volume in the directory where the storage daemon is configured to store them, and it will use them just like they were stored there. I currently have 30 fixed-size disk volumes spread across 7 SATA disks, and Bacula is running fine. When I started out, I created the 30 disk volumes in the SD's default location, then spread them out among the physical disks, and finally put a symlink in to their new location. Like I said, this will obviously not work if you're using the auto-label feature to create new disk volumes on the fly, since Bacula will create them in the directory with the symlinks and not on one of the other disks. My goal was to create a self-managing ring buffer of fixed-size disk volumes where the oldest volume automagically recycles itself, and this is how I did it. If someone has a better solution, I'm all ears..... -Arthur ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Emerson III Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator InterNIC: AE81 Mount Saint Mary College MaBell: (845) 561-0800 Ext. 3109 330 Powell Ave. Fax: (845) 562-6762 Newburgh, NY 12550 SneakerNet: Aquinas Hall Room 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
