Hello,

Maybe you could use the "virtual autochanger" resource:

bacula-sd.conf:

Autochanger {
  Name = VChanger
  Changer Device = /dev/null
  Changer Command = "" # versão 5.2.6. For 7.0.5 version, use /dev/null
  Device = vDrive-1, vDrive-2
}

Device {
  Name = vDrive-1
  Drive Index = 0
  Device Type = File
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /bacula/backup
...
}
Device {
  Name = vDrive-2
  Drive Index = 1
  Device Type = File
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /sdb1/bacula/backup # is this your mount point?
...
}

In your bacula-dir.conf (or wherever you have your storage definiton for director):

Storage {
  Name = MyVirtualAutochanger
  Address = X.X.X.X
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "xxxxxxxxxx"
  Device = VChanger
  Media Type = File
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = XX
  Autochanger=yes
}

Best regards,
Ana

I would like to set up bacula - well, my first steps have been successful.

All my backups are written to /bacula/backup. But / has only 900GB. So I want bacula to write to /sdb1/bacula/backup, too. /sdb1 has another 950GB of space. The sum of available backup-space should be 1850GB HDD:

Well, I got the following config of /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf:

Okay - now I would like to add another device. I guess I could just add a second entry like this:

?

Do I have to change something else so that bacula is able to write more than 900GB - if the first 900GB are "full" it should switch to the second hdd.


Thank you very much :-)
