Actually, you don't need to set up different storage devices--as I recall, this can make restores complicated (I don't think bacula likes to mix storage devices on a restore). You can just override SpoolData in the Schedule if you like, like this: Schedule { Name = Home Run = Pool=Yearly jan 1st sun at 2:10 Run = feb-dec 1st sun at 2:10 Run = Pool=Weekly 3rd 5th sun at 2:10 Run = Level=Differential Pool=Weekly SpoolData=Yes 2nd 4th sun at 2:10 Run = Level=Differential Pool=Daily SpoolData=Yes wed at 2:10 Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Daily SpoolData=Yes mon-tue thu-sat at 2:10 } This is an example from my bacula-dir.conf--I do annual full backups to a pool that never gets recycled, monthly fulls to a monthly pool with a retention period of 15 months, 1 or 2 fulls/month to a weekly pool (retention period 3 months??), etc, etc. In this case, the Job (or JobDefs) specifies not to spool data, and I override it with all non-Full jobs in the schedule. Has been working for me for about 2 years. (bacula ~1.38.?? to 2.2.7) Hope this helps, -se -se > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
