Hello. I'm deploying bacula in our network. Before it will go into production I need to solve one problem for myself how should I manage pools in my setup.
I have an ordinary linux box running centos and bacula 5.0.3 I'm going to store all my copies on NFS share that is mounted from netapp NAS. I read bacula documentation and I always see that it says that Pools are very good for managing tapes, but what about disks? Should I ever bother about defining several pools for disks, e.g. should I create pool for each client so that bacula would write all data thats belong to special client into separate pool and though into separate volume. And will have something like this: client1 -> pool1 -> client1-vol client2 -> pool2 -> client2-vol ... Or maybe I should not bother about Pools in my disk setup? I have rather big NFS share which capacity is about 2 terabytes. netapp NAS protects my copies with raid-dp (modified raid6 that protects against double disk faults). Maybe i should just use one `Default' pool and should not care about pool management. Or maybe it is better to create separate pool for full, incremental and differential backups? Can people, that use disks for storing their backup copies, share some expirience and shed some light on the problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
