Dear List! I try to to implement Bacula for a small company. I have succesfully installed and configured bacula (congrats to all, who writed the manual), but I need a little help, to develop the backup strategy.
I plan to do the backup to 200 MB IDE disks, and I think, that I have enough space, to do once a Full backup, and then the Incremental backups for a month. It will be simple, to keep this disk allways in the backup server, but I think, that this is not a good idea because of security reason. So I want to introduce a second backup disk, but I dont know when and how to do the backup to the first backup disk, and when (and how) to the second. The requirements are: - I want to change the backup disk once a week - I want to be able to do a full restore using _just_ the one of the two disks I think, that the following strategie will do, but I am courious, what do you think about this: Week A: (disk1) - 1. day: - Full backup - 2-7 days: - Incremental (since week A 1. day full backup) week B: (disk2) - 1. day: - Full backup - 2-7 days: - Incremental (since week B 1. day full backup) week C: (disk1) - 1-7 days: - Incremental (since week A 1. day full backup and _NOT_ since week B 1. day full backup) week D: (disk2) - 1-7 days: - Incremental (since week B 1. day full backup) Is this overcomplicated? ;-) (I know, that this is :-) What I dont know at this moment, how can I simply doing this. So, please give me a piece of advice! Thanks for the responses in advance!
