While this debate on the various merits of RaidN vs. RaidX is interesting and helpful, I don't believe it is what Scott was asking about. He was asking how one should configure Bacula to make the best use of his space. I looked at the example in the manual, here: http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Automated_Disk_Backup.html, but it seems that is simply an example -- as far as I can tell it only works for a single client and is not easily scalable, which in impractical. Tell me if I'm wrong.
I got advice from Arno Lehman suggesting that I estimate the amount of space needed per pool and set up the pool to handle that amount of data using limits on volume size and number of volumes. My reply was sent out with the wrong address so the list moderator ate it and I haven't resent it to ask my clarifying questions. I too wonder what would be a reasonable volume size given various pool sizes (I'm thinking about one pool for each level of backups with its own retention times running off the basic monthly cycle that comes preconfigured).
