I was recently out of town. Before I left, I manually ran a set of full backups. Then I put in a freshly recycled tape. While I was away, the first Sun of the month came by. This usually fills the tape. To disable those backups, because I had recently run them manually, I commented out the following lines from my schedule resources: $ grep "Full 1st" /usr/local/etc/bacula-dir.conf # Run = Full 1st sun at 5:55 # Run = Full 1st sun at 8:15 # Run = Full 1st sun at 20:15 Then issued a reload within bconsole. Here's an example from that file: Schedule { Name = "WeeklyCycleDaytime" # Run = Full 1st sun at 20:15 Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 20:15 Run = Incremental mon-sat at 20:15 } I also set myself a reminder to reverse this after the 1st Sunday. The above idea could be applied to other 'special' events. - -- Dan Langille BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference : http://www.bsdcan.org/ PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference: http://www.pgcon.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkn6KCoACgkQCgsXFM/7nTxduACgvQry/vnfEfQ5lPeIW2brKpv0 ARUAnAralG5QrrwMjZMNSNsCqiTPjAnh =p4z/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
