I would like to set up bacula - well, my first steps have been successful.

All my backups are written to /bacula/backup. But / has only 900GB. So I want 
bacula to write to /sdb1/bacula/backup, too. /sdb1 has another 950GB of space. 
The sum of available backup-space should be 1850GB HDD:

Well, I got the following config of /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf:

> 
> Storage {                             # definition of myself
>   Name = backup-sd
>   SDPort = 9103                  # Director's port
>   WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
>   Pid Directory = "/var/run/bacula"
>   Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
>   SDAddress = backup.example.com
> }
> 
> Director {
>   Name = backup-dir
>   Password = "doyoureallywanttoknow"
> }
> Device {
>   Name = FileStorage
>   Media Type = File
>   Archive Device = /bacula/backup
>   LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
>   Random Access = Yes;
>   AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
>   RemovableMedia = no;
>   AlwaysOpen = no;
> }
> 

Okay - now I would like to add another device. I guess I could just add a 
second entry like this:

> 
> Device {
>   Name = FileStorage
>   Media Type = File
>   Archive Device = /sdb1/bacula/backup
>   LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
>   Random Access = Yes;
>   AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
>   RemovableMedia = no;
>   AlwaysOpen = no;
> }
> 

?

Do I have to change something else so that bacula is able to write more than 
900GB - if the first 900GB are "full" it should switch to the second hdd.


Thank you very much :-)
