Here is my situation: We currently have 8 2TB USB HDDs. We want to do an 8-week rotation with these drives. Each drive will be on site for backup for 1 week and then in offsite storage for 7 weeks.
From my brief experience, it seems that having all backups go to one Pool will not work properly since the Volume bacula chooses to use/ recycle may not be present on the drive that is currently in on site. The best solution I think of is to have 8 different Pools, and each drive is associated with one of those Pools. The problem, however, is that I do not see a way to dynamically select which Pool a Job will go to based on what week it is. I know I can fire off 8 jobs (one for each pool) and use a "Run Before Job" script to cancel all but the proper Job, but there must be a Better Way to accomplish this. The job.Pool attribute is read-only in the Python scripting API, so that does not seem to be the answer. Any thoughts? -Jeremy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
