Hello all --
I have been reading through the excellent Chapter 45 of the Bacula User's
Guide: Using Bacula to Improve Computer Security. This chapter is quite
clear regarding how to manually initialize the Catalog in a verify context.
In the examples given, I noticed that the Verify Job Resource does not have
a Priority Directive:
http://bacula.org/rel-manual/Using_Bacula_Improv_Comput.html
Job {
> Name = "MatouVerify"
> Type = Verify
> Level = Catalog # default level
> Client = MatouVerify
> FileSet = "Verify Set"
> Messages = Standard
> Storage = DLTDrive
> Pool = Default
> Schedule = "VerifyCycle"
> }
>
> Since the Catalog itself will change as a result of a Verify Job having
been run, and if I am understanding correctly, it would make sense then to
run a Catalog Backup Job after the Verify Job has finished. In such a case,
would it be fine then to add an appropriate Priority Directive to the Verify
Job Resource? In fact, I would like to run Jobs sequentially, so first I
would like to run the main nightly Backup Job (e.g., Priority = 10), then
the Verify Job (Priority = 11) and then finally a Catalog Backup Job
(Priority = 12). Is there any reason why the Jobs can not be chained
together like this whereby the Priority establishes the queue sequence (so
long that the corresponding Schedule Resources pointed to in each Job
Resource are set up with times / dates to run at different time such as five
minutes apart and thus they don't have the same run-time conflict)?
For people that do routinely run Verify Jobs, what is the suggested best
practice in the Bacula Community?
Thank you,
-H
