I do not see any limitations for number of pools creation in any doc. Bacula is an extremelly scalable solution with a virtually infinite supported number of Pools. But media administration would be very hard with more than 100 pools, even just to list volumes. As Dimitri pointed out there are not many practical reasons for separating volumes per backup client data. > Regards, Regards, > Muhasin C.M > Systems Engineer R & D > Assistanz Networks Pvt LTD > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dimitri Maziuk" <dmaz...@bmrb.wisc.edu> > To: "bacula-users" <bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 11:04:37 PM > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Jobs are writing to wrong volumes. > > On 08/18/2017 07:13 AM, muha...@assistanz.com wrote: >> Helo Heitor, >> >>> "Use Volume Once" is an explicitly non-recommended directive by Kern >>> himself. >>> You should use "Maximum Volume Jobs=1" in the pool resource. >> >> Thank You for the above change,and this means only one job will run in that >> pool?. > > I believe so.
