Assuming that all your disks will be online all the time, there may be a simpler way to do this. I think you can create a single storage device pointing to a directory containing links to the volumes on each disk. E.g. if your disk are mounted on /mnt/disk1 /mnt/disk2 /mnt/disk3 etc and each disk contains a single volume Vol1, Vol2, Vol3 etc then you can create a directory mkdir /bacula ln -s /mnt/disk1/Vol1 /bacula/Vol1 ln -s /mnt/disk2/Vol2 /bacula/Vol2 ln -s /mnt/disk3/Vol3 /bacula/Vol3 (or just ln -s /mnt/disk*/Vol* /bacula) and use Archive Device = /bacula in the config. I've not tested it, but it might work. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
