Hi all, I'm just getting started with Bacula and wondering about the best strategy for setting up file storage naming. Is there a best practice, perhaps, or do people have suggestions?
I have about 15 systems to back up to about 8 TB of disk. I know that I could create a single volume - labelled say, BIG - or I could go to the other extreme and have a a daily volume for each system, e.g. ServerA_Monday, ServerB_Tuesday. I was thinking of either one for each system (ServerA, ServerB, etc) or by using "Use Volume Once", having something like ServerA001, ServerA002, ServerB001, etc. My only reasoning for this is to try and keep things simple. Is there any advantage to having lots of small files as compared to a few large ones? Thanks for any feedback.
