Hi, according to the manual, you need to create more devices for concurrent backups to disk since Bacula regards everything as tapes, so a single Device will block until each individual job to it is finished.
I'm a little unclear on what new sections I need though, presumable a number of 'Device {}' sections in bacula-sd.conf (or one per job if I absolutely want to be able to do concurrent backups of any combination of jobs, right?), but do these need to have unique Names, Media Types, and do I need one new 'Storage {}' section for each of these in bacula-dir.conf? Can these have the same keys for communication? Or am I off base and can I just add new 'Archive Device' lines in the Device {} section of bacula-sd.conf instead and create symlinks to the directory I'm backing up in? BTW, a number of my questions regarding using VSS, OpenSSL encryption and rescue CDs has gone unanswered, does noone have experience with these or have I offended someone? I'm trying to Google and read the manual as much as possible before giving up and posing the question here, if the answers are in the manual a reference to the chapter would already help a lot. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! - the World's favourite mail http://uk.mail.yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
