Hello,
I have a backup server, which acts as a repository for network
backups. Attached to this server
is a HP Ultrium-1 LTO drive and an Exabyte VXA2 Autoloader drive. What
I am trying to do is
have Monthly full backups go to the LTO drive, and the daily incremental
backups go to the Exabyte.
Weekly differential backups will go to the Exabyte initially, but I may
decide later to send these to the
LTO.
I would like to split the backups this way so I have minimal tape
changes, and the LTO tapes can
go into our safe when they fill up, for long term archival.
I am having trouble getting this to work in bacula:
I created two pools, one for full backups and one for incremental
and differential. Only media for the LTO is added to the full backup
pool, as only media from the exabyte is added to the incremental pool.
One problem that I have is that a backup will get upgraded from
incremental to full (due to changes in my retention periods after
testing), and bacula wants to use media from the incremental pool AND
the LTO tape.
I do not know why it will not use the other media pool...
Maybe someone can offer me some suggestions to achieve by design goal,
ideally I would have minimal intervention with the backup system,
archiving the LTO tapes as neccessary and letting the VXA tapes recycle...
Thanks
Jeff Ramen
