hi, we are using bacula to backup our fileserver to disk. Our bacula server has got 500GB disk space and we want the backup to work like this:
every 1st saturday of a month at 20:00 start a full backup and overwrite the last one (not enough diskspace to hold 2 full backups) every monday - friday start a incremental backup at 22:00 our schedule looks like this: Schedule { Name = "monthly_disk_inc" Run = Level=Full IncrementalPool=sdb1_inc FullPool=sdb1_full 1st sat at 20:00 Run = Level=Incremental IncrementalPool=sdb1_inc FullPool=sdb1_full mon-fri at 22:00 } our job like this: Job { Name = "zeus_disk" Type = Backup Level = Incremental Client = zeus-fd FileSet = "zeus_disk" Schedule = "monthly_disk_inc" Storage = sdb1 Messages = Standard Pool = sdb1_inc Full Backup Pool = sdb1_full Incremental Backup Pool = sdb1_inc Differential Backup Pool = sdb1_diff Priority = 9 Write Bootstrap = "/var/bacula/zeus_disk.bsr" } and our pool like this: Pool { Name = sdb1 Storage = sdb1 Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 14 days Label Format = "file-" Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Maximum Volumes = 3 } ## sdb1 full backup pool Pool { Name = sdb1_full Storage = sdb1 Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 1 month Label Format = "full-" Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Maximum Volumes = 1 } ## sdb1 differential backup pool Pool { Name = sdb1_diff Storage = sdb1 Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 1 month Label Format = "diff-" Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Maximum Volumes = 12 } ## sdb1 incremental backup pool Pool { Name = sdb1_inc Storage = sdb1 Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 1 month Label Format = "inc-" Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Maximum Volumes = 31 } Differential is not used at the moment. Will this setup work? What happens if I start at 13.November.2007? Will Bacula start with a full backup an overwrite the fullbackup "tape" at 1st saturday on december? Will it also overwrite the incremental tapes that are no more working because of the deleted full backup? Are the Retention times ok? Thanks for you help. -- Mit freundlichen GrĂ¼ssen / Best regards Florian Engelmann EDV Service / IT Services Manntech Fassadenbefahrsysteme GmbH Mannesmannstr. 5 - Industriegebiet Kugelbichl - 82291 Mammendorf Tel.: +49 (0) 8145 / 999 - 271 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.manntech.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
