My Pool Resource:
# File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 60 days # one year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1000G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Label Format = "${FileSet}_${Level}_${Year}-$
{Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
}
Note: I am not using tapes, this is an offsite backup server writing to
local hard disks. The directory which it uses to put the volumes should
look like this as an example:
total 41675520
-rw-r----- 1 bacula tape xxxxxxxxxxxx Dec xx xx:xx WEB_FULL_2012_12_16
-rw-r----- 1 bacula tape xxxxxxxxxxxx Dec xx xx:xx
WEB_INCREMENTAL_2012_12_17
-rw-r----- 1 bacula tape xxxxxxxxxxxx Dec xx xx:xx
WEB_INCREMENTAL_2012_12_18
-rw-r----- 1 bacula tape xxxxxxxxxxxx Dec xx xx:xx
WEB_INCREMENTAL_2012_12_19
... and so on
I'm trying to test bacula at the moment. So in the console I am doing a
"run" command and specifying the job and pool, but it just hangs and never
does anything. The error I get is from the storage daemon.
ERROR:
17-Dec 16:18 backup-sd JobId 26: Job BackupCatalog.2012-12-17_16.18.45_04
is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
When I actually do "label" command in console and give it a name then the
job completes but I DONT WANT TO DO THIS. This should be automatic and do
the labeling as I specified label format definitive. If I have to manually
label a volume which will run every night (incrementals) then this is a
useless program but im sure there must be a way to do this automatic.
UPDATE: I realized that the label format does not work syntax wise. I would
like bacula to use a different volume each day basically. And recycle them
in the beginning of the week so for example:
VOL_SUNDAY_FULL
VOL_MONDAY_INC
VOL_TUESDAY_INC
and so on, and I then when a new week starts it should recycle. Also I'm
backing up 3 different clients and I want them to use their own volumes but
when I make the volumes they all use the same one until it fills up... this
is bad.
I'd appreciate any help I can get. Hopefully you can understand what I'm
looking for. I've looked everywhere I can but can't seem to find any
solutions for my issue. I apologize if you get multiple copies of this
email but I just subscribed to the list and re-sent out the email so it
would go through.
Thanks,
