Thanks for all the suggestions.
This one seems to be the most usefull for what I want to do. Anyway, it
will be a bit tricky to get some day to work and have to program one new
backup for next Tuesdey and another new one for next Friday. Does your
first approach read the local-filelist when the scheduled date comes and
bacula starts backuping files or when I program the backup and set a
schedule for it? The second solution would allow me to handle any backup
not planned. The first solution forces me to have an array of '<'
filesets and keep track of which of them are being used and which ones
are free.
The problem is that here we have to do a lot of 'once' backups. Each
time that one artist ends one sub-project we must backup his work and
delete it from the server disks. This happens at least twice a week, and
each backup is a new one. I thought that it was more common in other
places having to do final backups for projects when they are done and
must be deleted from hard drives. Or maybe other bacula users leave
these kind of backups out from bacula control?
We also have periodical backups that can be handled without any problem
with bacula, but these once/final backups happen too frequently to leave
them out from bacula control :(
By the way, is there any way of schedule a backup to run only once? I
didn't see how to specify the year...
Regards and thanks for your help.
