Hello all, I'm thinking about creating a backup strategy using DVD-R's and harddisk, maybe you can help me sorting out the strategy.
Scenario:
* Bacula 1.38.x
* Debian Linux director
* Debian Linux & Windows clients
* Two schedules: ServerCycle (at night) and WorkstationCycle (start at
9:30am)
My idea is to apply a "grandparent-parent-child" strategy, but without
recycling the volumes, that's because I expect to use this on DVD-Rs
(when DVD support get stable), in the meanwhile this will be used on
hard disk.
Here is my proposed configuration:
Schedule {
Name = "ServerCycle"
Run = Full 1st mon at 2:00
Run = Differential 2nd-5th mon at 2:00
Run = Incremental tue-fri at 2:00
}
Schedule {
Name = "WorkstationCycle"
Run = Full 1st mon at 9:30
Run = Differential 2nd-5th mon at 9:30
Run = Incremental tue-fri at 9:30
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 60 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4 g
Volume Use Duration = 30 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format = Full-
}
Pool {
Name = Diff-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 60 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4 g
Volume Use Duration = 27 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format = Differential-
}
Pool {
Name = Inc-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 60 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4 g
Volume Use Duration = 5 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Label Format = Incremental-
}
Catalog information will keep the last 2 months activity, older volumes
will be stored "forever", just in case they're needed.
Every Full-Pool volume will have full jobs of one month, the same with
Diff-Pool, and Inc-Pool volumes should only store files from within a week.
This is all supposing that the information to be stored won't exceed 4
GB per volume, of course.
Is this strategy correct? are there any details I should take into account?
Many thanks,
