I am doing the backup in hard-disk.
Monthly, I want to save the backup files on DVD.
Can I do it manually? ie, saving Catalog(bacula database) and the volume file.
Also, How can I tell bacula sd to limit the size of VOL to 4 GB so that it can fit in DVD.
Yes, I am doing this. Here's an extract of one of my servers backup jobs and the pool that supports it. The pool limits the disk file to
650 megabytes and the LabelFormat identifies the server ( an integer is
appended to each file opened ).
You can fit six or seven of these files onto a 4700 megabyte drive. The manual command (on my machine) is:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J *
Part of my preliminary manual setup is to move somewhat less than 4700 megabytes of backups into a seperate directory before issuing this command. I also do an "ls", then cut and paste the output into a Word
document that prints onto a 4.75 x 4.75 inch section of paper. This
gets cut out and slid into the dvd case so that I know what's on the dvd for those rare occasions that I need to restore something.
