Hi all, I'm looking at migrating my existing TSM5.5 backup solution to Bacula. I'm hoping some people could point me in the right direction.
I currently have TSM set up with a 40Gb disk volume on the local server, which is then migrated to a group of eSATA drives. On the eSATA drives I have volumes (usually 300-400Gb in size) that I VARY ONLINE via a udev script when I plug the drive in. The idea is that the 40Gb on the local disk acts as a buffer which is once a week migrated to the volumes on the eSATA drives: ie: tsm: SERVER1>q vol Session established with server SERVER1: Linux/x86_64 Server Version 5, Release 5, Level 7.0 Server date/time: 08/02/13 12:31:09 Last access: 08/02/13 12:01:01 Volume Name Storage Device Estimated Pct Volume Pool Name Class Name Capacity Util Status ------------------------ ----------- ---------- --------- ----- -------- /tsm-usb/5VP7VQZH-1.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-usb/5VP7VQZH-2.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-usb/5VP7VQZH-4.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-usb/5VP8PAGK-1.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-usb/5VP8PAGK-2.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-usb/5VP8PAGK-3.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-usb/6VP0MZGY-1.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-usb/6VP0MZGY-2.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-usb/6VP0MZGY-3.dsm USBDRIVES DISK 0.0 M 0.0 Off-Line /tsm-vols/disk01.dsm DISKBACK DISK 20.5 G 40.6 On-Line /tsm-vols/disk02.dsm DISKBACK DISK 20.5 G 87.4 On-Line I'm trying to figure out how to replicate this in Bacula - however I haven't had much success at this stage. I did find some documents that are nearly 4 years old in relation to using removable media - but a lot changes in 4 years! Does anyone do something like this already? How can I handle the eSATA drives? Is there a better way? -- Steven Haigh Email: net...@crc.id.au Web: https://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
