After replacing my infamous Quantum DLT-v4 SATA drive, which gave
problems on EOT, I'm currently cracking my brains on a specific
situation. My config:
Pools Tuesday - Friday
Pool {
Name = xxxxxxx
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 13d
Maximum Volume Jobs = 2
}
Pool {
Name = WeeklyPool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 30d
Maximum Volume Jobs = 2
}
Jobs:
NightlyFullSave (schedule = MonthlyCycle)
BackupCatalog ( schedule = MonthlyCycleAfterBackup)
Schedule:
Schedule {
Name = "MonthlyCycle"
Run = Level=Full Pool=TuesdayPool tue at 03:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=WednesdayPool wed at 03:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=ThursdayPool thu at 03:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=FridayPool fri at 03:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool sat at 03:00
}
# This schedule does the catalog. It starts after the MonthlyCycle
Schedule {
Name = "MonthlyCycleAfterBackup"
Run = Level=Full Pool=TuesdayPool tue at 3:15
Run = Level=Full Pool=WednesdayPool wed at 03:15
Run = Level=Full Pool=ThursdayPool thu at 03:15
Run = Level=Full Pool=FridayPool fri at 03:15
Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool sat at 03:15
}
Above works perfectly but is it possible to do this with Bacula:
The IT-staff isn't always capable of switching tapes. In the case the
forget to place to tape, They would like to reuse the old one from
yesterday. But when they do switch the tape, Bacula needs to use the
tape assigned by the pool. I can't think of a solution (when keeping the
current functionality), because the tape of yesterday does not belong to
the pool of today. Is it possible with Bacula to reuse the tape if they
forgot to change it, while remaining a valid pool and media list when
the tape is changed?
My second question is, that the same people also want to take tapes
randomly out of the cycle an replace it with an empty one. How can i
combine this with the pool strategy of Bacula?
Many thanks for your answers,
Sebastiaan
