You can also do that per Job OR JobDefs too, If you the same schedule for more
than 1 client this may be more appropriate for you:
Job or JobDefs {
Pool = "thisjob-inc-pool" # default 'level' pool *REQUIRED even if not used*
Full Backup Pool = "thisjob-full-pool"
Incremental Backup Pool = "thisjob-inc-pool"
Differential Backup Pool = "thisjob-diff-pool"
}
You also need to think about volume/job/file retention periods, volume
expiration or how many clients per *time* or per job you allow per volume,
volumes are tricky to grasp due to how many ways you can set retention or
storage periods for.
Each pool (in bacula 5.2) will allow you to over ride the Client retention
periods:
Pool { # 1 months of Full's, 1 per week - assume 5 weeks giving extra lag time.
FileRetention=1 months
JobRetention =1 months
#Volume Use Duration = 23h # Jobs placed in this pool within *time*
go here, after *time* will be the next volume
Volume Retention = 1 months # how long we keep the volume for before
reuse.
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 # 1 jobs per volume max. (careful mixing
this with Volume Use Duration!)
Maximum Volumes = 5 # Force recycling per volume after
Maximum volume reached (5 allows 1 week lag period)
}
If file retention expires before volume or job you may only export everything
(no selection in bconsole) on restore.
If Job retention expires it might take longer to find the linked jobs and again
it may be an export everything situation on restore
I use a series of Base, Full, Inc and Diff for every client but the retention
periods of INC are set low (1 month tops) to keep daily changes clean, thats
what fulls and diffs are for, I keep 3-6 months of fulls, at least 1 year of
base and 1 month of inc's, diff's vary if they are even used.
Once you break away from the defaults everything requires a lot of planning and
"what if" scenario's come into play!
