Hi,
you could add a pool for every disk and tell bacula which pool it has to
use on each day. You can tell bacula which pool to use via schedule for
example.
Schedule:
Schedule {
Name = Disk
Run = Pool=Disk1 SpoolData=yes on mon at 22:30
Run = Pool=Disk2 SpoolData=yes on tue at 22:30
Run = Pool=Disk3 SpoolData=yes on wed at 22:30
Run = Pool=Disk4 SpoolData=yes on thu at 22:30
Run = Pool=Disk5 SpoolData=yes on fri at 22:30
Run = Pool=Disk6 SpoolData=yes on sat at 22:30
}
Pools:
Pool {
Name = Disk1
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Auto Prune = yes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Storage = File
LabelFormat = file-
Volume Use Duration = 1 day
Action On Purge = Truncate
}
Devices:
Device {
Name = Disk1
Device Type = File
Media Type = File
Archive Device = "/backup/disk1"
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = Yes
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = Yes
}
Device {
Name = Disk2
Device Type = File
Media Type = File
Archive Device = "/backup/disk2"
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = Yes
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = Yes
}
and so on.
cheers.
