I'm trying to understand job concurrency in Bacula and what strategy I
should use for backing up clients.
Its likely that I will have to backup around 50 clients. My strategy is to
write incrementals to disk volumes and fulls to tapes. I assume its possible
for Bacula to write to multiple disk volumes simultaneously if configured to
do so, but what about tapes? I have my tapes divided by customer so that
Customer1 Pool - 8 volumes, 2 in slots each week
Customer2 Pool - 8 volumes, 2 in slots each week
Can Bacula write a job from 2 different clients(file daemons) in Customer1
Pool at the same time? How does this work? I understand that Bacula can't
write a job from Customer1 Pool and Customer2 Pool at the same time because
these are different volumes.
Also can bacula simultaneously spool to disk and write to tape for the same
job?
I'm looking for good advice on how to streamline Bacula so that I'm not
always running backups or have to many jobs waiting on resources in use.
Thanks,
Shon
