hi:
   I am new to bacula and I plan to use disk file to backup. the full backup size is about 2TB。

I saw many warnings in the document about using large disk volumes to backup, because
" with a single Volume, is that until version 2.0.0, Bacula did not seek within a
disk Volume, so restoring a single file can take more time than one would expect."

but I also find there is a "random access = yes" parameter for disk volume and it seems can do seek.

so I am confused if  it is ok now to use large disk volumes(ex: 2TB or bigger) with bacula 5.2.10 ?

thanks a lot for help!!

Regards,
tbskyd
