Sorry for the late reply guys, I've been busy these last days.
I really appreciate all the responses you made to this thread. I'll
read carefully all of them and take into consideration for my
deployment.
Hope you all have a nice weekend!

Hello guys:
I'm planning a Bacula deployment on AWS in the following weeks. I have
some doubts about disk performance for Disk based backups.
Based on the idea that Bacula writes data on big files (i.e. 100 GB
each volume), what technical considerations should I have for the
underlying storage de
nment.
Thank you all guys

I have a question: So far, which is the best combination for storing

I was wondering if you can share any of your biggest Bacula

backup thousands of desktops/servers", or "I have a backup

up".
It's just that I want to know
Thank you all for your responses.
I'll take a look at Bacula systems' whitepaper to see what they're
talking about. Meanwhile I'll explore some of the alternatives
discussed on this thread like copying files with scripts and making a
replica on SpiderOak or anything similar.

Hello guys:
I'm running Bacula 7.4.0 with a Messages resource like this:
Messages {

Hola Enrique:
La lista es de idioma inglés, dudo que consultando en español te respondan.

I forgot to say that Bacula client on my Zimbra server (which is
currently being backed up) is using most of the CPU. According to top
command, bacula-fd is reporting between 10%, 30% or even 80% of CPU
usage. Meanwhile, swap usage is currently low (~ 3%)

Hello guys:
I've built Bacula 7.4.0 but I have no idea how to build the
tray-monitor application. I can't find any arguments in ./configure
--help to achieve it even when I found a tray-monitor directory in the
contents of the tarball.
Hope someone can give me some ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I've already solved this. It was due to permissions issue

I'd recently installed bacula 7.4.0 on CentOS 7 x86_64. I don't have

Yes, you're right. I don't use bconsole to restore jobs but Bat

Is there a way to know which volumes (tapes) will be required by
Bacula before running a restore job? I hope someone can give me a tip.
