How to use Bareos (Bacula) Storage Daemon with multiple disks? - bacula

Question

I have Bareos Storage daemon (bareos-sd) with three 2 Tb HDD. I want them to be seen as one storage and Bareos auto-switched on next disk when the previous one is full.
Now I have all disks as different Devices with different Media Type and thee Storage with the corresponding disks. In Job's Pool I set Sorage as comma-separated my three Storages. But now my first disk is full and Bareos do not use next disk.

You have to specify another device directive. Taken from http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
If you want to write into more than one directory (i.e. to spread the load to different disk drives), you will need to define two Device resources, each containing an Archive Device with a different directory
So just create another 'Device' directive, so that you have TWO device directives, like this:
Device {
Name = FifoStorage
Media Type = Fifo
Device Type = Fifo
Archive Device = /folder1
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = no
AutomaticMount = no
RemovableMedia = no
MaximumOpenWait = 60
AlwaysOpen = no
}
Device {
Name = FifoStorage2
Media Type = Fifo
Device Type = Fifo
Archive Device = /folder2
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = no
AutomaticMount = no
RemovableMedia = no
MaximumOpenWait = 60
AlwaysOpen = no
}
