Bacula expects to read/write a volume from a single device. You would therefore need a device driver similar to Linux md that acts as a proxy taking reads and writes from the user-mode application and performing them by making reads and writes over one or more st devices. There are also some RAIT hardware devices that handle the striping, etc. in hardware, so still present a single device to Bacula. If speed is the issue, then it would be far easier to simply run multiple concurrent jobs to utilize both drives simultaneously, use data and attribute spooling to fast disk, and make sure the database is fast enough to keep up, (moving the database to SSD storage helps out there). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
