Hi... I have this situation:
A small SD in the server (2TB) with a retention period of 3 months. and a other SD in a disk USB (1TB) with a retention period of 1 month. Note: the idea is leave only the more recently backups (one month) in internal and external disk.. .and the oldest backup in the internal disk (we don't believe that we will need this old backups in the future). I have configured the bacula director to copy all jobs from server to disk USB... that worded OK.. but after a month.. the director purge the volumes with one month or more at the disk USB and after this the director copy the old jobs again to usb disk !! :-( my job copy is configured to copy all "uncopied" jobs (PoolUncopiedJobs).. but, apparently the director consider that if the volume don't exist in the other SD, the volume isn't copied and make a new copy job !!! any idea to workaround this ?? extract from director configuration ==================== Job { Name = "CopyToTape" Type = Copy Level = Full JobDefs = "DefaultJob" Client = bacula-fd Priority = 200 Selection Type = PoolUncopiedJobs Schedule = "WeeklyCycleForCopyingToUSB" } # Scratch pool definition Pool { Name = Scratch Pool Type = Backup } Pool { Name = Mensual-Completo Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 3 months Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Label Format = mensual-completo- Next Pool = Pool-DiscoUSB } Pool { Name = Semanal-Diferencial Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 35 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Label Format = semanal-diferencial- Next Pool = Pool-DiscoUSB } Pool { Name = Diario-Incremental Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 14 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Label Format = diario-incremental- Next Pool = Pool-DiscoUSB } Pool { Name = Pool-DiscoUSB Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 35 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Storage = DiscoUSB } Schedule { Name = "WeeklyCycleForCopyingToUSB" Run = Level=Full mon-fri at 11:06 Run = Level=Differential mon-fri at 11:06 Run = Level=Incremental mon-fri at 11:06 } ==================== -- -- Victor Hugo dos Santos Linux Counter #224399 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
