Hello List, Forgive the long post, but I have a situation here that requires some help...
My current setup... -- NetApp filer containing ~35TB of data to be backed up to tape -- Quantumi40 w/ 2 LTO-5 drives -- Quantum SL3 w/ 1 LTO-5 drive -- HP DL-380G5 with 16GB RAM and 3 x spool hdd -- CentOS 6.5 with kernel 2.6.32-431.23.3.el6.x86_64 -- Bacula 7.0.5 -- All data going to tape comes via NFS from filer with each tape drive having a dedicated spool spindle -- Full jobs run once per week, on Wednesdays -- Incremental jobs run daily -- Tapes leave daily to IronMountain, offsite for 1 week My current issues... -- Tape auto-recycling is not happening consistently/reliably -- Tapes now need to be offsite for longer periods of time. Given the amount of hand holding I have had to do with bacula over the last couple of years, I am convinced that my configs are not very helpful or accurate... So my question is this... What would be the best setup for pools/retention/schedules to accomplish: -- Manage volumes/pools between both autochanger devices -- Tapes offsite daily, to return 31 days later for recycling -- Tapes written daily/weekly via incremental and/or diff jobs -- Tapes written weekly/monthly via Full jobs -- Automating the 'update slots' and 'volume status' changes when tapes leave daily -- Restore validation tests performed quarterly Let me know if you need further information, and thanks in advance for reading and any help! --eddie Cloud Services for Business www.j2.com j2 | eFax | eVoice | FuseMail | Campaigner | KeepItSafe | Onebox This email, its contents and attachments contain information from j2 Global, Inc. and/or its affiliates which may be privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
