Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is that I really have different retention policies depending on the server being backed up. This means that in my bacula directory configuration I need to use one pool definition per server. This has the nice aspect that I have volumes per server and can label them appropriately.
How would your method work in my case? I simply can't use a generic schedule definition with pool parameter due to my many pools.

You can keep all your job definitions and filesets that you have already defined, you just have to add the second pool, and define that as the target in the schedule. Let's suppose you've created two pools called "weekly" and "daily" (you can name them however you want) this is what you'd put in your schedule: Run = Level=Full Pool=weekly sun at 1:00 Run = Level=Incremental Pool=daily mon-sat at 1:00 You'll then have to make sure that pool "weekly" has a retention persiod of 14 days and "daily" has a retention period of 7 days. As to your question if it's recommended to have separate pools for each client ... that depends on your backup concept. If you are going to store all backups on one storage device, and if they have the same criteria for backup retention, having separate pools for each client has no advantage. It just makes your configuration unecessarily complex. I would only recommend separate pools if there's a particular reason for it. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Sven Tegethoff EDV-Team _________________________________________________________ UDO BÄR GmbH & Co.
