My advice is to use 3 pools: - pool1 for months 1,4,7,10 - pool2 for months 2,5,8,11 - pool3 for months 3,6,9,12 This would be a fool-safe setup. If you are absolutely sure you'll always burn the volumes to bluerays during the following month, or at least manually mark the volumes "used" before that month ends, then 2 pools would be enough. Otherwise there would be a problem because months have different amount of days: for example, in 2-volume setup on the 1st of March the second volume that might be created only on the last day of January would still be "underage" and Bacula would use it for a couple of days before creating another one. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
