Look at the Job resource. You will find it specifies a Catalog. Create two jobs for each client, each one going to a different Catalog. > I'm running bacula 2.0.3 under ubuntu. FYI, a simple solution for local and off-site backups, which may or may not fit your situations: Backup to local HDD. When the backups are complete, mirror that HDD to a USB drive. Then ship the USB drive off site. Have multiple such USB drives. Each one is a snapshot of your backups as of the date it was shipped off site. For most backups, you restore from the local HDD. You only use the USB drives if the local HDD dies completely. This solution has the benefit of local access and offsite storage, all from one job per client. -- Dan Langille - http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference: http://www.bsdcan.org/ PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference: http://www.pgcon.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
