Hello List, I am using bacula for some time now. I now want to change the whole backup strategy a little:
I have an Autochanger with 7 tapes. One full backup takes ~2 Tapes. I want to use 2 x 2 tapes for a weekly backup and the remeining 3 for daily differential/incremental backups. Now the difficult part: I want to put such a 2 tape set at a secure place. So the best thing would be to run a weekly backup job which uses set 1 for week 1 and set 2 for week 2. I think this can be done by creating 2 pools: Monthly1 and Monthly2 which run bi-weekly each. Now one stupied question: Is this supposed to work: Monthly1 runs 1st and 3rd Sunday and Monthly2 runs 2nd and 4th Sunday What happens if there isn't a 4th sunday within this month? I think I am missing something here. Maybe anyone is kind enough to give me sume hints on this problem. Maybe the hole strategy is dumb and there is a better and smarter way to solve this problem. Maybe I should only use one monthly pool and tweak the retention times so that I only have to put one 2 tape set in place and bacula will use it no matter which one it is? Thanks for your help! mit freundlichen Grüssen, | with best regards, -- Daniel Khan Technische Leitung | CTO Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter | Managing Partnerventigo Werbung . IT .
