Are there some good examples of various options for the schedule? I'd really like to see some examples rather than vague references to theoretical backup scenarios/schedules. >From what I read on >http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Backup_Strategies.html it still >wants to force me into a specific day of the week. For example: Schedule { Name = "WeeklyCycle" Run = Level=Full Pool=MondayPool Monday at 8:00pm Run = Level=Full Pool=TuesdayPool Tuesday at 8:00pm Run = Level=Full Pool=WednesdayPool Wednesday at 8:00pm Run = Level=Full Pool=ThursdayPool Thursday at 8:00pm Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool Friday at 8:00pm } I don't really want to force myself to do a FULL backup on any specific day. Or is there no way around this? I would like to stagger the full backups of each client. My only other experience with backup software is AMANDA. In there, the clients each do their full backups at different times based on how much they need to back up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
