Re: [Bacula-users] bacula multiple devices

Thanks for your help Eitan.

For some reason It completely eluded me that I can declare a Device inside the Storage in within bacula-dir.conf

And define the device itself in bacula-sd.conf

I didn't check it out, but have you tried to do this configuration

Storage {
Name = File
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = BACULA               # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "123456"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}

Storage {
Name = File1
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = BACULA1                # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "abcdef"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}

Client {
Name = eitant-fd
Password = eitant
Address = eitant
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
File Retention = 4 days
Job Retention = 6 months

}
Job {
Name = eitant
Type = Backup
Level = Full
Client = eitant-fd
FileSet = PST_CDE
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = Eitant
Pool = Eitant
Messages = Standard
}

Storage {
Name = Eitant
Address = bacula                # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "123456"
Device = Eitant
Media Type = File
}

Pool {
Name = Eitant
Use Volume _Once_ = yes
Pool Type = Backup
LabelFormat = "Eitant-"
AutoPrune = yes
VolumeRetention = 4 days
Maximum Volumes = 3
Recycle = yes
}

Client {
Name = vered-fd
Password = vered
Address = vered
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
File Retention = 4 days
Job Retention = 6 months

}
Job {
Name = vered
Type = Backup
Level = Full
Client = vered-fd
FileSet = PST_CDE
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = vered
Pool = vered
Messages = Standard
}

Storage {
Name = vered
Address = bacula1                # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "abcdef"
Device = vered
Media Type = File
}

Pool {
Name = vered
Use Volume _Once_ = yes
Pool Type = Backup
LabelFormat = "vered-"
AutoPrune = yes
VolumeRetention = 4 days
Maximum Volumes = 3
Recycle = yes
}

on Bacula use this Bacula-sd.conf:

Device {
Name = Eitant
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /backup

LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}

on bacula1 use this Bacula-sd.conf:
Device {

Name = vered
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /backup

LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}

I'm sorry but I still don't understand.

In the baculd-dir job definition you specify the Storage you write to, not the device. which is basically the daemon.

In bacula-sd.conf I have one definition of a Storage and two Device definitions.
In the bacula-dir Job definition I specify the Storage, not the Device.
Therefore I cannot choose which device to write to from the list in bacula-sd.conf

That's funny, because I believe it's always the storage device you
point a job (or a pool) to.

The following section is a bit unexpected in a DIR configuration.
I would even say it results in a unusable DIR...

You should put storage resources into the DIR config as per the manual.

By the way: Which version of Bacula is that, and what does a
configuration check for the DIR report?
