Hello, I just started with more catalogs too ;o) There is bacula-dir.conf example below. Remember that client1 and client2 can be actually one real host, not just two different. You can switch between catalogs using use in bconsole. You just need to know, that these are two completely different databases and they are both filled with your configuration bacula-dir.conf, but some things like tapes are not usually directly in configuration, so you have to distribute or copy tape records between catalogs by hand. At least I think - I did not find anything better, than to use many delete commands in one catalog and many add commands in the second catalog (I have moved some tapes from one catalog to the second.). Client { Name = client1 ... Catalog = cat1 ... } Client { Name = client2 ... Catalog = cat2 ... } Catalog { Name = cat1 dbname = db1; user = user; password = pass } Catalog { Name = cat2 dbname = db2; user = user; password = pass } -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
