I have a setup to backup lots of clients over slow links. I want to have each client (or group of clients) backed up to dedicated client pools, so client1 will go to pool client1, and so on. That way

Thanks Randy, Unfortunately Maximum Concurrent Jobs won't cut it because I need a different tape per client. Still I set it to 1000. When spooling is enabled, bacula still wants a tape from the clien

Hi Pablo, If you have enough disk space handy, you could send each Clients data to its own disk Pool with its own Next Pool specification. Each Clients data would be in its own Pool on disk, then mo

Thanks Greg, But I would still have the problem that I need a device tied up backing up each client. The problem I am facing is that I need to backup lots of slow clients, and I need to come up with

I'm not clear if you're trying to avoid lots of physical devices or lots of bacula storage device definitions. You could create one Device {} entry per client in the bacula-sd.conf. These each corres

Pablo, If youre backing up to disk, you can have as many Jobs running simultaneously as you want/need. The trick here is to define not only a unique Pool resource for each Client, but unique Storage

I would try to avoid changing the device definitions in bacula-sd.conf every time I add or delete a client, as this could happen very often. If I backup, let's say, 500 clients at night, the ideal w

Thanks Greg, The key in my application is if I can modify bacula-sd.conf dynamically without a bacula-sd restart every time I add or remove a client. bacula-sd restart would kill running jobs. Pablo

Martin, This hack looks very promissing. I will test it and let you know. Pablo AFAIK, no. There is a hack: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.devel/14084 __Martin -- Forrester

Hi, My understanding is that you need a restart, which is likely to kill any running backups. I do something similar actually, but it's not quite as big or dynamic so I manually modify the bacula-sd

This setup would work, but as it turns out, when you have Base jobs, you cannot do migrations. Fatal error: sql_create.c:1147 Can't Copy/Migrate job using BaseJob Pablo -- Original Message -- From: "

Gavin: I tried signalling bacula-sd, but it does not seem to work and still sees the same configuration until it is completely restarted. I will try creating a bacula-sd instance per client and see..
