Hello all,
I have a question about bacula conception.
When you define a job, you have to tell in it where you will store the data, with the keyword Storage.
Imagine you do backup on disk: on the storage conf file, you define 3 virtual drives (VirtualTapeDrive_01,VirtualTapeDrive_02,VirtualTapeDrive_03) which take 4GiBFile as media.
In the job definition, you have to put the name of the storage through which data will be written. Let's name them VTD_01, VTD_02, VTD_03 to be consistent with the definition in the bacula-sd.conf file. They are name in the bacula-dir.conf file.
At this point i don't understand. Why define a storage device instead of a storage daemon in the job definition.
If the drive is already used, your job will have to wait until it would be available again, even if the storage demon manages 2 others drives which are free. So why such a conception ? In this manner, you can do a sort of load balancing by storage daemon, you have to do a load balancing by jobs, which is more difficult to manage.
Do I understand something wrong ? Can someone explain me why this choice ?
Thanks !
