[Bacula-users] Getting multiple streams for a large file system

[Clark, P. A. <cl...@or...>]

I have several large file systems (>1TB) where I want to break them up to get smaller backup streams in parallel to increase the throughput to tape.  My fileset directive is below.  I want everything in /home, but divided by the regular expressions provided in the Options section.  Will this do what I want or will I only get one backup stream?

FileSet {
  Name = "homedirs2 Set"
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
      RegexDir = "^/home/[0-9]*"
      RegexDir = "^/home/[a-e]*"
      RegexDir = "^/home/[f-j]*"
      RegexDir = "^/home/[k-o]*"
      RegexDir = "^/home/[p-t]*"
      RegexDir = "^/home/[u-z]*"
      RegexDir = "^/home/[A-Z]*"
    }
    File = /home
  }
#
  Exclude {
    File = /proc
    File = /tmp
    File = /.journal
    File = /.fsck
    File = lost+found
  }
}
