Good morning I am currently running bacula on a CentOS machine with no problems. I am waiting to install a tape drive (problem sourcing the connector to the server)
I am having a problem with clearing out data over a certain length of time. I have had a look through FAQ's and also through this forum and although people have been having similar problems I have been unable to find a proper solution. I basically have all my backups running to files (each job has a seperate pool) these are currently running into massive sizes. What I want to do is utilize the pruning/recycling function in Bacula. I am a little unsure as to what the various config tags do within the bacula-dir.conf. I currently have the following in the Client resource: File Retention = 10 days Job Retention = 1 month AutoPrune = yes In the pool resources I have the following in there: Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 15 days Accept Any volume = yes I want my backups to run full backups on a Friday and incremental every other day, I want a full weekly backup to tape and each month clear/prune/recycle what is on the server so the volumes are back down to zero. Does anybody have any advice on a smiple way to do this? or failing that, a difficult way to do it as my attempts have all turned out as failures!!!
