Hi all,
I still have not found a reliable solution.
Let summarize again what I want tho achieve:
- 3 generations backup on USB disk
- change the USB disk from time to time
So I defined the 3 pools for each generation and labeled the a separated
set
of media on 2 disks:
disk1: d1foof1, d1foof2, d1food1, d1food2, d1food3, d1food4, d1fooi1,
d1fooi2
disk2: d2foof1, d2foof2, d2food1, d2food2, d2food3, d2food4, d2fooi1,
d2fooi2
Each disk works fine for itself. But if I swap the disks bacule creates
the
volumes of the removed disk for the next backups.
The file device is defined with removeable-media=yes. I tried "update
pool".
I do not want to disable and enable all volumes one by one manually. How
could I do it in a bunch? Is there an example of a script?
But most propably it is simply a question of configuration. Please give me
a
hint.
It would be perfect if after a disk change bacula would use the media
available on the new disk and start with a full backup.
I suggest a simple approach.
Use local HDD as your primary backup storage. Use USB only as a backup of
your backup. Do not backup directory to USB. Backup to local HDD, then
use a tool such as rsync to duplicate your backups onto the USB drives.
Under normal situations, always use the local HDD for backups and
restores. Use the USB for restores *only* if your local HDD has serious
problems.
Suggestion: use RAID-1 on the local HDD.
Dan,
Thank you for your suggestion. But I can't do it that way. I don't have
enough space on local disks for multi generation backups. I have two
usb disk to backup two sites. And I swap them from time to time. That
is simple and cheap.
Regards,
Marco
