Hi Y'all, I'm looking for a little advice on a setup I have here. I have 300TB of non-changing data that I need to archive. I have a Dell ML6000 tape library that holds like 41 LTO-5 tapes (connected to a CentOS 6 Server), and I have a pile of hundreds of tapes to do this job with.
So, I was basically planning on doing a whole bunch of separate "full" backups with no incrementals or differentials, and then ship the tapes off-site. Each backup job would be 10TB in size, so I would have like 30 10TB chunks to back up. This is so if any failed, it wouldn't be a big deal to just fix the problem and re-run that 10TB chunk again. But, I'm wondering what happens when the whole tape library is full? Is there a way I can tell it to wait while I load and label 41 more tapes into the same pool, then issue a "resume" command of some sort? Or, do I have to pre-label all 300 tapes from the start (in batches), have them in the same pool, so bacula knows I have more tapes on the shelf waiting to go when the 41 tapes in the library? Thanks for any insight!! -erich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
