Hi, I have a 300GB hard drive that I backup to a 600GB hard drive, but the initial full backup runs out of space (it takes almost twice as much space to hold the backup?).
So, I'd like to allow the backup to span more than one hard drive. I read something like a solution on this list, involving creating files for bacula to use as volumes, with symbolic links to the hard drive that the fiel should be stored on. An additional detail is that I use a scheme were I do a full backup once (ever) and then only incremental and differential after that, reusing volumes each week. I used to have: Maximum Volumes = 8 Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Volumes Use Duration = 6 days 59 minutes Now, that it seems I can't have 1 volume per backup (because it runs out of space), how do I calculate how many volumes I need? Or, how can I backup to multiple hard drives, doing a full backup once ever and only incremental/differential after that rotating every week?
