Hi, I have two external backup drives that I want to incorporate using Bacula, but have some questions:
1) When making a Full backup, does this replace the expired backup or will this create a new Volume on the drive? 2) Can you force the Full backup to expire on a weekend? 3) Will auto-pruning prune the oldest incremental? 4) I read that having many incremental backups, like I plan on having will make the restoring of files slow compared to a diff, can someone confirm this? Here is my planed setup: Source: ~460 GB (M-F) Daily Changes: ~0.5-2 GB Backup Drive #1 size: 1 TB Backup Drive #2 size: 1 TB Schedule: Week #1 Drive #1, run Full Backup (Expire in 3 months) on a weekend Drive #1, run daily Incremental backup M-F for Week Week #2 Drive #2, run Full Backup (Expire in 3 months) on a weekend Take Drive #1 home on Monday Drive #2, run daily Incremental backup M-F for Week Week #3 Take Drive #2 home on Monday Drive #1, run daily Incremental backup M-F for Week Week #4 Take Drive #1 home on Monday Drive #2, run daily Incremental backup M-F for Week . . . The purpose of the two drives is to have at least one week of data off-site, plus weeks worth of incrementals.
