Thank you All ... In my case, I have a numerous servers with at most 5
to 10GB to backup as a full. Then, I have a few servers with TBs of
data. Thus
far, the only way I can handle these servers is to attach external
drives onto the bacula server and make those specific jobs for those
servers go to those specified volumes. Well, that is what I am proposing
to implement.
Thanks again,
LDB
