Hi everyone,
this must be a FAQ but neither TFM nor google are being very helpful...
I have a storage server with 12 SATA drives on an HBA. I want to backup
to those drives, using file volumes of 50GB or less. The idea is to
manually swap the drives as they get full.
I'm looking for the implementation with least moving parts. From what I
see out there my choices are
1. Autochanger.
Can I just omit the "Changer Command =" (or set it to /bin/true) and
it'll magically work?
Or do I have to have a "fake autochanger" script -- and if I do, how is
it supposed to work with 12 drives all mounted at once? E.g. TFM has an
example of 2-drive configuration, but it doesn't say what "mtx-chager
loaded" is supposed to return in that case.
2. Give each client its own disk. I'll consider it if all else fails,
but obviously this is far from optmal.
Any suggestions?
(Bacula is 5.0.0/centos 6)
TIA
