Hi everyone,
i have a question regarding 'Automatic Volume Labeling', a short
explanation of what i'm trying to do ...
i'm responsible for a small company, the backup is done to external
disks. There are different Pools writing
the Backup to specific disks labeling them with a syntax like:
Label Format =
"Pool-Weekly-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${NumVols:+1:p/4/0/r}"
which if no use able media exists is labeled on the device like
'Pool-Weekly-2007-10-23-0001'. So far so good,
but this only happens once, means the 'Maximum Volume Bytes' is set to
2048000000 (2GB) to ensure, it doesn't
matter where the external Disk is attached, the files are readable.
If a Backup Job requires more than one Media, the first get's labeled
and for every new Media required during the
Backup Job, Bacula asks the Operator to label a new Media.
My only solution for this right now is to estimate how much space the
Backup will use, and label the Volumes
before the Job runs, but as you can imagine thats annoying ...
is there anything i'm missing that this happens ?
thanks for any hint ...
kind regards
Michael Lang
the necessary configurations are :
<pool>
Pool {
Name = "Pool-Weekly"
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Bytes = 2048000000
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Purge Oldest Volume = no
Label Format =
"Pool-Weekly-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${NumVols:+1:p/4/0/r}"
Storage = "Storage-Weekly"
}
</pool>
<bacula-sd.conf>
Device {
Name = Storage-Weekly
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /media/backup02
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
</bacula-sd.conf>
