I'm working with Amazon VTl (virtual Tape Library) and Bacula v 5.2.6 which functions well and can run concurrent jobs to multiple tape drives just fine. I want to speed up restores for DR purposes and make use of the 10 virtual tape drives VTL gives you. I am not sure if bacula supports restoring to multiple tape drives at the same time and haven't been able to find anything in the documentation as such.
I have created multiple restore jobs and ran them concurrently just fine but each restore job waits for the first tape drive to complete before running. So running concurrent restores doesn't provide any net benefit as they can only run 1 at a time. If anyone has any information regarding running restore jobs at the same time using multiple tape drives please let me know. Thanks in advance. My restore job configs look like this: ## Job { Name = "RestoreFiles" Type = Restore Client = backup02 FileSet = "Full Set" Pool = Disk Messages = Standard Where = /mnt/restores Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10 Prefer Mounted Volumes = no } Job { Name = "RestoreFiles2" Type = Restore Client = backup02 FileSet = "Full Set2" Pool = Disk Messages = Standard Where = /mnt/restores Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10 Prefer Mounted Volumes = no } +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by jkel...@popcap.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
