Hi,
I have two questions about doing backups to harddisk with bacula. I'll put
them in seperate emails to keep this clean but they are somewhat related:
1st - What is a good "volume/poll" setup? (Experience question)
2nd - Why does my solution now only use inc-0003? (Config question).
I'll use this email for the first question:
I have an almost working solution (execpt for email 2). I used the default
configs and adjusted them with the aid the examples in the manual. I'm just
not sure I made some good choices. For example I would now like to add
another machine and need to change Pool parameters to make this work.
Because the number of clients is directly tied to "Max Volume Jobs" (#client
* #needed_volumes". Same for "Maximum Volumes" (#clients * #iwant-to-keep).
Question:
Who has a working/extenable configuration? I'm more interested in the idea
behind it than the actual config but the config may help to build it. But
it's the idea's and insight I'm looking for (bacula manual can help me with
the config).
Some extra info:
My site looks like this; 3 clients. Client 1 also tripples as director and
storage. Like this:
[CLIENT2]--+
+--[INTERNET]--[CLIENT1/DIR/STORAGE]
[CLIENT3]--+
Client 2 and client 3 are Slackware Linux and client 1 is FreeBSD.
The storage has 500GB disk at its disposal (a second is standby if I need
more space).
Current configs are attached.
