Good afternoon,
We have successfully been running Bacula for almost two years now on our
web servers. We recently started backing up everything with Bacula this
past fall, a total of 13 servers.
Looking back on our web server backups, I never need to restore anything
older than 2 weeks. I would like to reclaim some space on one of my
storage servers. I am reasonably familiar with all the knobs that need
turned but I would like to run this past the more knowledgeable people
on this list to see if I am missing anything.
All volumes should contain one backup only. When a volume is used, the
next night a new volume should be chosen from the available pool. I need
the oldest volume to be recycled.
I have a full backup run on the 1st Sunday of the month, only 2 volumes
should be created and used in the Full-Pool.
I have a differential on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sunday of each month.
Only 3 volumes should be created and used in the Diff-Pool.
I have a incremental on Monday through Saturday of every week. Only 7
volumes should be created and used in the Inc-Pool.
As I understand this should give me the ability to pull any file for the
last 30 days. All files and Jobs will be purged after 1 month. The Full
backups will be reused after 1 month, the Differentials will be reused
after 30 days, and the Incrementals will be reused after 1 week.
Any thoughts on how I ahve this setup would be appreciated.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
