This is my pool-configuration: # Default pool definition Pool { Name = Default Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Action on purge = truncate Volume Retention = 182 days # 1/2 year Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200 Maximum Volumes = 14 LabelFormat = "BAND" } Pool { Name = Montag Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Action on purge = truncate Volume Retention = 2 months Volume Use Duration = 23 hours Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200 LabelFormat = "MON" } Pool { Name = Dienstag Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Action on purge = truncate Volume Retention = 8 days Volume Use Duration = 23 hours Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200 LabelFormat = "DIE" } Pool { Name = Mittwoch Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Action on purge = truncate Volume Retention = 8 days Volume Use Duration = 23 hours Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200 LabelFormat = "MIT" } Pool { Name = Donnerstag Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Action on purge = truncate Volume Retention = 8 days Volume Use Duration = 23 hours Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200 LabelFormat = "DON" } Pool { Name = Freitag Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Action on purge = truncate Volume Retention = 8 days Volume Use Duration = 23 hours Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200 LabelFormat = "FRE" } # Scratch pool definition Pool { Name = Scratch Pool Type = Backup } pool default is for full backup (first monday of the month) and catalog backup. pool montag (monday) is for differential backup. Each monday a volume until two full backups pool dienstag-freitag (tuesday-friday) are for daily incrementals. For each pool here, there are two volumes which will be use every second week. This are my schedules: Schedule { Name = "WeeklyCycle" Run = Full 1st mon at 11:05 Run = Differential Pool = Montag 2nd-5th mon at 11:05 Run = Incremental Pool=Dienstag tue at 11:05 Run = Incremental Pool=Mittwoch wed at 11:05 Run = Incremental Pool=Donnerstag thu at 11:05 Run = Incremental Pool=Freitag fri at 11:05 } # This schedule does the catalog. It starts after the WeeklyCycle Schedule { Name = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup" Run = Full mon-fri at 11:10 } Regards Daniel Etter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
