I am backing up to disk and copying to tapes in "Run After Job" directives. I am having real problems with my volume names and recycling though. If the backup doesn't run on the day that my counters are supposed to increment, then I have to manually increment the counter and/or delete volumes by hand so that Bacula will re-use them. I am sure that I have just done things wrong, so I would like some help in figurng it out.
My goal is, for each client, to have the following backups: Monthly (Full) for 6 months Weekly (Diff) for 1 month Daily (Incr) for 2 weeks I have been trying to name my volumes different things along the line of: client-level-week-day I have a counter set up to increment the count of 'week' every Saturday when the Diff / Full backup is run. However this is not working for me. I could conceivably have volumes in different pools with the same names, and also I really do not like how the counters work at all. Right now I also have 2 pools set up for each client (weekly and daily) and the weekly pool for the first client to get backed up is the one that increments the week-count. I would really appreciate a better way to accomplish this because it seems like every single day at least one of the backups is not running, and this is not good!
