Afternoon,
Is it possible to perform a VolumetoCatalog verify job of a backup other
than the most recent one?
My Bacula setup performs full backups on Friday nights and backs up 10
servers. It does incremental backups on the other nights of the week.
I want to setup a scheduled verify job of some of the servers to confirm
the data has been successfully written to tape.
However, the time required to perform the backups and then verify some
of them exceeds 24 hours - this impacts the scheduled start time of my
incremental backups.
I have a max wait time of 23hours set on all my jobs so they should
abort before the incrementals begin, however if a long verify job is in
progress this delays the incrementals - however that's another issue.
My latest plan was to delay the verification of the full backups until
Sunday after the incrementals have completed, however I cant find any
way to specify that I want to verify the last full backup or the second
last backup or even jobid = xx.
Trying to run a verify thru bconsole I get the option to specify the job
but not a specific instance of that job having run.
The documentation all points to the VolumetoCatalog job verifying the
last backup so suspect I'm grasping at straws but I was wondering if
anyone knew anyway to specify a previous backup to verify.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Troy.
