Bacula file backups

[tqz]

Hello all

Currently I have bacula setup to do tape backups and a file backups successfully. This may sound like a silly question but is it possible to do 2 file backups but for different locations or 1 and get bacula to dump the file backups into my 2 diff locations.....hope this makes sense....

Any pointers, response of any kind will be v helpful!

Many thanks

I assume, you mean "Pool", "Storage Ressource", or "Storage Daemon" if you talk about "locations"

Within one bacula job, you cannot backup to two storagedaemons.

A simple, but not very elegant approach would be to run 2 jobs,
one scheduled after the other, that only differ in the storage and schedule ressource.

Drawbacks:
- double the load for the client
- not _exactly_ the same data for this client on these two Storages.

If you have version 3 of bacula director/storage-daemon (and preferable file-daemon, too)
the new Copy Job feature might be interesting to you.
