I think Francisco's solution seems very elegant for a situation where tapes don't need to be shared between hosts. I've developed a crude system which might be another approach if you are mainly working with Full backups, which is to snapshot the catalog associated with a job so that the particular job can easily be recreated in another Postgresql instance. Let me know if you are interested in that. Following a brief discussion with Avi Rozen, who has developed the baculafs "catalog file system" I'm thinking of working on this more to make per-job sqlite dumps from Postgres to make entirely self-contained job catalogues, and to provide a facility to make a bootstrap file directly from either the Postgres or the job catalogue db. But that is unlikely to be relevant here! -- Rory Campbell-Lange r...@campbell-lange.net Campbell-Lange Workshop www.campbell-lange.net 0207 6311 555 3 Tottenham Street London W1T 2AF Registered in England No. 04551928 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
