These points were passed to me off list. They address some points raised elsewhere in this thread. - Bacula has known how to use the current tape that is a drive for a long time now. It is discouraged, but just a matter of configuration. - XML for configuration. No, for the reasons that are pointed out by the prior thread mentioned by Frank. - Configuration data in the database. Anyone that wants that can do it today. Bacula will always read from a text file though, so that it can be easily setup in a disaster situation when the database may not exist. - Bacula supports different catalogs for different jobs (I think from the very beginning). My setup uses two different catalogs on the same server, but you can even use them on different servers. - From the beginning Bacula works with multiple volumes in a given directory. This is well documented in the Pool example chapter where I describe setting up an automated system using three different pools. |
