Hello everyone, I am setting up a Bacula backup environment complex enough, in which I would like to backup onto raid disks and, eventually later, copy backup volumes onto tapes (50 Gb SSL2020 HP device). I defined the maximum volume size to fit the tape, so if I will need disk space I can move one to one. I am trying to keep the same volume(s) for the full backup and the following incremental, so I can save a consistent set just before a full dump. The problem is that I cannnot find a rule to set on the pool valid for any size of the systems: - the number of jobs does not work because the volumes may be more than one - volume duration does not work either time starts since the first write
I think the most practical way should be run a job (admin job maybe) that could set the last volume as "Used" before the new full backup, but I do not know if this is possible. If someone is interested or can give an opinion I decided to write two subfiles for each sistem to backup, system-dir and system-sd and add then at the end of bacula-dir and bacula-sd. The dir file defines Job, Client, Storage, Scheduling and Fileset, the sd file defines the Device. In this way I hope to manage things a little easier. Anyway I believe this is a VERY VERY GOOD piece of software.
