SUBJECT : autoprune before running backup job
BODY :
Hi,
first of all, all french, so my english is like it is, sorry.
I've installed bacula, which is running fine ;-)... but I'have a
parameter problem. I want to make a daily full backup one daily tape
(the monday backup on the monday tape, the tuesday backup on the tuesday
tape, etc...) BUT I want if I forgot to change the tape, it takes the
tape which is in the computer : the day Before tape !
My usual disclaimer: don't do that!
So, I configure the storage like this :
Pool {
Name="toto"
Use Volume Once = Yes
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume retention = 12h
Accept Any Volume = yes
}
But bacula try the autoprune AFTER the backup, so the tapes are never
automatically recycle. If, when I put a new tape I send a prune
command, bacula work fine, but if I don't send this command the backup
job fails saying there is no avalaible tape.
I'd do the following:
Either set Use Volume Once to off and have the new backup appended -
then you have an older set when you need it (unless, of course, the tape
is damaged).
Or use a Run Before Script to trigger pruning, or use an admin job with
the same start time but lower priority value than your regular backup.
Let this job prune the volumes.
thank you for your help.
I'll send this to the list, too, so perhaps you get more suggestions.
