Hi

What is the recommendation when it comes to backing up over multiple HDDs

I have 6 x 1TB drives, and I am trying to choose between a single LVM 
volume, or 6 separate drives.

Which will be more beneficial to bacula?

If I have separate drives, I will need to assign jobs to each device 
individually, and manually migrate jobs between volumes when the jobs get 
too large

If I have an LVM device, a drive failure will cause me to lose all 
backups.

Is it possible to give bacula a pool of devices which will be 
intelligently chosen based on available space?

What is the experience of users here?

Chris
