Hello,
As James points out a RAID 1 (mirror) is not in our plans. However,
making two copies of the same backup on two different Devices is
something that is very likely to happen before the end of the year.
The first cut will be to write to two or more devices in the same SD.
The second cut will
Yes, Media Type is very important. It must
be in the Storage resources on the Director
side, and notice that as I mentioned before, on
the SD side, Autochanger really just groups a
number of Devices. The Media Type must be
in each Device, because each one can be different
so it is not in the Auto

Does bacula-dir.conf side require "Media Type" and what should that be
if does? Or do I omit "Media Type" and have "Autochanger = yes" ins

That may be, but I had a system with 11 disks raided between an on-board
sata controller (5 free ports IIRC) and an off-board sata controller (8
ports) and it crashed on every access to disks connected t

Which is why the best way to do it is at the source: have the storage
write to multiple devices. E.g. in amanda you can specify the device as
"rait: { /storage/device/one, /storage/device/
(forgot to cc the list)

Yesno:
We had problems with mdadm and some sata controllers. Whether I can
configure 12 disks into 6 *stable* md raids remains to be seen.

Now that we know there is a way to use multiple disks without adding the
'moving symlink' script (thanks Kern),
is there by any chance an undocumented trick to write two copies of the
same job at once? (aka RAIT.) Like maybe listing two Pools in the JobDef?
The goal is to have 2 copies of the vol

Is this documented anywhere, out of curiosity? I don't think it is
general knowledge.

Hello John,
vchanger gets the job done as does the "disk-changer" script in
Bacula, from which vchanger was derived (and extended) if
I remember right. The disk-changer script works fine, but we
use it only for "tape" regression testing with our Virtual Tape driver.
