Hi Everyone,
I'm a sort of returning bacula user. In the past I've used bacula with
a single drive only, which wasn't much of a problem since the tape drive
was a LTO2 and could easily fit my backup needs. Now I have a 2 drive
system (just plain drives, no autoloader or anything) and much more data
that can fit on a tape - currently I'm backing up ~150 Gb and getting
about 65 Gb on a tape. I was wondering if it's possible to have bacula
use both tape drives to complete a backup.
If you read the developers list... iirc, this is something that will
happen in the future, eventually. I think that the evolving multi-drive
multi-autochanger and multi-everything :-) possibilities will support
that, but to make sure you should read the developers list archives.
This would let me get 2
tapes into the backup at which point it would hang until I could put in
the the 3rd in final tape, and possibly a 4th if needed. From looking
at the docs, I don't see that it's possible to specify to tape devices
in the Job resource, or am I reading the docs wrong? Is it possible to
do a "fake" autochanger setup to mimic this behavior?
Again, if I recall correctly there was one such setup described on the
list... ok, found it:

tapedrives as autochanger! There was at least one following post.
Hope this helps,
Arno
TIA,
Craig
