How to manage backup to disk volumes and pools

I need a solution

We moved our backups to BE2012 recently and it runs more or less smooth.

I am not happy with the way the storage is working right now. Maybe that is cause we didn't configure it from a BE2012 point off view. Therefore this question.

I have a NAS with 16 2TB volumes on it. these Volumes have been presented to BE2012 and are mounted under the same folder. (volumes are RAID-5)

All these disk's are dedicated and only used by BE2012.

Next thing we did was make 4 disk pools each with 4 disks.

The settings for the disk have been set to:

  • Max file size: 50GB
  • low disk space: 5%
  • low disk space - Warning 3%
  • low disk space - Criticial 1%
  • Concurrent write sessions: 1

Still the server tends to write all data to the same disks. Every storagepool has one disk that is filled to the limit and 3 disk that are between 10% and 50% used.

How can I resolve this issue?
