I know this question has beened asked a million times on this list (And yes,
I went through the nabble's bacula-users archives over 2 days) but I think
my situation is slightly alittle more unique. So if anyone could help me
out, I would appreciate it!
Here's the background:
We have 150+ clients scattered throughout 3 buildings, but all attached to
the main network line (1 main office, 2 offices are connected through ptp
wifi). Because we support 5 separate 'companies' that are owned by one big
company, my pools have been setup to reflect this. We also have 20 off-site
locations scattered through the US that are connected to the main director,
and backing up to a storage device on their local network (All connected via
VPN).
I have a pool for each department that's also part of one of the 5
companies. So it comes out to 9 separate pools. Each pool is on a
different schedule to be backed up in a 24 hour period.
Our storage device for the 150 clients is a 1TB snapserver (plenty of room
for what we need backed up). I have run tests the last 2 weeks using a
single pool of 9 machines backing up to the main storage daemon. And it
works great.
What I'm curious about:
Can I have all 9 of the pools backing up to 1 storage device definition? I
would have the pools set for 1 backup per pool, but want at least 5
concurrent backups to the storage device itself. Or do I need to have
Device { } separate and pointing to a different directory for each of those
9 pools to backup simultaneously? What would be the best practice for this?
Juicy Tidbits:
