Hi everybody,
I've been using Bacula for 1 year, before then i used to write my own
scripts.
I see, and correct me if i am wrong, that bacula allow only a maximum of 3
backup levels:
Level 0: Full
Level 1: Differential
Level 2: Incremental
This means a maximum of 3 pools per job.
Now, if i have to implement this example of recovery schema:
Every month for a year
Every week for 6 months
Every day for a month
Every 3 hours for 2 days
There are 4 different rotation rules and schedules... not three.
How am i supposed to solve this?
With my own scripts, i would define 4 pools, and a job type for each pool:
Level 0 Pool Type:Full
Level 1 Pool Type:Differential
Level 2 Pool Type:Incremental
Level 3 Pool Type:Incremental
Every pool with his own rotation rules which based on the recovery schema,
and a job type for each pool.
In my opinion it is wrong to bind the concept of job type and the concept
of pool, they are 2 different things.
I use a pool to define a group of volumes and their rotation rules, i
specify a job type to define if those volumes will contain an
incremental,differential or full backup.
I hope i'm wrong with this and that i wasn't able to find the correct
solution which Bacula proposes, if this is the case please help me to throw
light on that.
Thanks.
