Hi all. Forgive my ignorance here, but I'm having a hard time
trying to understand what I need to do. (And it's probably so simple
I'm going to smack myself in the head when I hear the answer). I
currently use UltraBac to backup about 10 Windows workstations to a
large file array, and want to do the same with Bacula. Currently, I
have a folder per workstation, then a folder per day.
(BriansDesktop/Monday, BriansDesktop/Tuesday, etc). The reason for this
was because if I wanted to delete one day for whatever reason (space for
example), I could easily. I would like to maintain that schema in
Bacula, but for the life of me can't get it right.
What I've got now is, in the storage daemon, each folder is a
device. Then in the director, I've created a storage resource for each
'device' in the storage daemon. Then, in the job, I've defined it like
this:
<snip?
JobDefs {
Name = "BriansDesktop"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = BriansDesktop-fd
FileSet = "C Drive"
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/BriansDesktop.bsr"
}
Job {
Name = "BriansDesktop-Monday"
JobDefs = "BriansDesktop"
Storage = BriansDesktop-Monday
Schedule = "BriansDesktop-Monday"
}
</snip>
Now...I THINK my confusion comes into play with the whole Pool/Volume
thing. I loosely understand that you have to define a pool and put
volumes in it, but where the heck do you device a volume? And further,
if you specify a pool for the job to use, why do you need to specify a
storage device also? Or, is that just to force that job to use that
device?
Thanks in advance,
Sitting stumped,
--Brian
