And also sorry for wasting your time, since I didn't seem to have made
myself clear. So I'll post my schedule- and my pool-section now:
[bacula-dir.conf]
Schedule {
Name = "NightlySave"
Run = Level=Full Pool=Weekly Friday at 23:00
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Daily Monday-Thursday at 23:00
}
Pool {
Name = Weekly
Use Volume Once = yes
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 13d
LabelFormat = Friday-Tape
RecycleOldestVolume = yes
Accept Any Volume = no
}
Pool {
Name = Daily
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Maximum Volumes = 2
MaximumVolumeJobs = 4
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 6d
LabelFormat = Daily-Tape_
RecycleOldestVolume = yes
Accept Any Volume = yes
Volume Use Duration = 6d
}
[/bacula-dir.conf]
So, I've got two pool for the full and for the incremental backups. The
problem is, that if backups for the Daily-pool fail from e.g. Monday to
Wednesday, the first job on that tape will be the Thursdays-job and the
"Volume Retention" and "Volume Use Duration" will count from then on, so
the intended schedule (using a tape only between Monday to Thursday)
gets trashed.
Is this possible without writing a schedule that contains every week of
the year?
Thanks for any further hint,
Dirk
