Overall, I'm fairly happy in with Bacula. It has saved me thousand of $$ migrating from Arkeia Network Backup software. However, there is one shortfall that is causing me some grief and I don't see any easy solution to: Bacula does not provide a "last <day> of the month" feature in its scheduling option.
I wish to run an offsite backup to tape on the last Friday of each month. Bacula provides 1st-5th day of the week option. Although, most months contain only 4 Fridays, some contain 5 (last January for example). If I set the schedule to include the 4th and 5th Friday, I will get 2 offsite backups for the months containing 5 Friday. I don't want this because it wastes limited disk space in my D2D2T configuration. Manual intervention seems to be only solution but this defeats the "set it and forget it" paradigm that I'm seeking. I am hoping someone has solution to this dilemma. Thanks. [cid:image001.jpg@01CE038B.AD727520]Conrad Lawes| Systems Administrator | visit us at www.navtech.aero<http://www.navtech.aero/>
