One thought on - OT: Bareos (F/OSS Fork Of Bacula)

• I set it up originally a while back (and it was brain racking exercise), and it works seamlessly since, so I’m really rusted on the definitions. It probably is a restriction how many volumes you can have open simultaneously for jobs. In my case volumes are files ( <= 50Gb - my restriction for volume size) on big RAIDs, even a single RAID (I have 6 currenly attached to the server box) contains over 1000 volumes. For flexibility, I set all clients with their individual volumes, job names, pool names, etc, and even these volumes are stored into individual directories one container directory per client. For each client I have on the server two config files (one for storage daemon and one for director) - all these client files are included in the main sd or dir config files in the following manner: # Read client directory for config files. Remember to bconsole “reload” after adding a client. @|”sh -c ‘cat /usr/local/etc/bacula/conf.d/clients/*.conf'” (Hm, ignore my comment, I usually restart sd and dir daemons to re-read configs after adding client). I hope this helps.
