Hello all, In the Bacula manual, one suggestion for daily tape rotation is to use a different pool for each day. That sounds excessively complex to me. We want to do daily rotations to offsite storage, though.
I thought of a couple of options. One is to just remove each day's tape from the changer, and let Bacula find a new tape as appropriate. (See my other message on this topic.) I've then set Volume Use Duration on our daily tapes to 6d, so they become available for the following week. The nice side-effect of this is that if we have a holiday, or someone forgets to change a tape one day, then Bacula will just continue adding data to the previous day's tape. Another thought would be to set Volume Use Duration to, say, 22h. This would also force Bacula to use a new tape each day. Why does the manual instead suggest a different pool for each day? ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
