It starts to make sense, after reading chapter 23 from the documentation
and doing some experiments on my own.
So, each volume is created only when needed, right?
What happens if Maximum Volumes number has not been reached, but the
Volume Retention for the first volume has been reached? The first volume
will be pruned anyway, is that true?
When I asked the initial question in this thread, I was having in mind
the following metaphor: certain archiving utilities (such as RAR.exe)
allow the creation of split archives, with the size of each chunk
specified on the command line. The whole thing is like just one big
archive, except it's split at certain size marks.
I was looking to duplicate the same behavior with Bacula: let the pool
grow and shrink just as if it was using the default parameters...
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
}
...except instead of one big file have a bunch of 4400MB files, whose
number is adjusted automatically by Bacula.
If I understand it correctly, your solution is pretty close to this model.
