Hi guys, So I'm starting from scratch again with my bacula config. I thought I'd try to get some pointers before I dive in head first again.
My setup consists of multiple virtual machines. Some over GigE, some over an ADSL connection (6000/800kbit). My aim is to transfer as little as possible over the ADSL connection - but enough to be able to restore if required. I would like to use some local disk storage (say 40Gb), and have the rest go to a removable external eSATA drive. I'm thinking this could mainly be done via job migration when the internal storage starts to get full. As some insight, my current setup has ~167 daily incremental backups and has used under 11Gb of space on the 'on disk' volumes. The amount of data changed per day isn't really huge. Some more specific questions: 1) I want to try and avoid vchanger and use something that can use the eSATA drive properly - grow the number of volumes automatically to fill the entire eSATA drive. Bonus points for being able to just plug in a new eSATA drive and expand further. 2) From my previous posts, I heard that daily incrementals forever may be a bad idea - the whole job based backup vs the file based backup that I'm used to with TSM. What would be the suggested route for backups being done? I obviously don't want to do Full backups over the ADSL connection every week / month. 3) I'm starting from scratch with Bacula v7 and all systems are a mixture of RHEL6 and Fedora 20. Are there any gotchas I should be aware of straight up? 4) Any general comments? :) -- Steven Haigh Email: net...@crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299
