In case this helps anyone. I ended up having problems with setting
volume limits. For example I suddenly decided to adjust our
incremental backups to run every 4 hours, and started reaching volume
limits with errors.
From what I have read in the documentation setting "Volume Use
Duration" will effectively cause new volumes to be created, and old
ones to be recycled based on the Volume Retention. Since I monitor
servers disk space and this is just disk based backup, if I get an
alert that the storage space on the backup space is filling up I will
then look at reducing the retention periods on the volume sets.
Here is what I have so far:
Pool {
Name = office-p-monthly
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Retention = 6 months
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Action On Purge = Truncate
LabelFormat = office-p-monthly-
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G
}
Pool {
Name = office-p-weekly
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Retention = 1 months
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Action On Purge = Truncate
LabelFormat = office-p-weekly-
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G
}
Pool {
Name = office-p-daily
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Retention = 14 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Action On Purge = Truncate
LabelFormat = office-p-daily-
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G
}
Pool {
Name = datacenter-p-monthly
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Retention = 6 months
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Action On Purge = Truncate
LabelFormat = datacenter-p-monthly-
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G
}
Pool {
Name = datacenter-p-weekly
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Retention = 1 months
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Action On Purge = Truncate
LabelFormat = datacenter-p-weekly-
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G
}
Pool {
Name = datacenter-p-daily
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Retention = 14 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Action On Purge = Truncate
LabelFormat = datacenter-p-daily-
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G
}
Here are samples of the jobs:
Job {
Name = web221-domainname
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = web221.domainname.com-fd
FileSet = OurFileSet
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = horde-sd
Pool = Default
Full Backup Pool = datacenter-p-monthly
Incremental Backup Pool = datacenter-p-daily
Differential Backup Pool = datacenter-p-weekly
Accurate = Yes
Messages = Standard
}
Job {
Name = web220-domainname
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = web220.domainname.com-fd
FileSet = OurFileSet
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = office-sd
Pool = Default
Full Backup Pool = office-p-monthly
Incremental Backup Pool = office-p-daily
Differential Backup Pool = office-p-weekly
Accurate = Yes
Messages = Standard
}
