In bacula-dir.conf config file there is a "Storage" directive that specifies a storage daemon Device resource. By default, "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" is set to 1 in Storage directives. Otherwise when two (or more) jobs write to the device simultaneously, the records from each job will be interleaved on the storage media. I believe it is possible to set Maximum Concurrent Jobs > 1 in the Storage directive for the device in bacula-dir.conf and allow this interleaving, however that will cause restores of those interleaved jobs to be VERY slow. Another approach is to use multiple devices, if possible, or turn on data spooling for those jobs. Spooling will cause the jobs to spool backups to disk simultaneously, after which the spooled backups will be written to media sequentially. > If you need more information please let me now. > > Regards, > Volker > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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.
