Hello again, A new question : Is there a way I can set up Bacula so that it recycles only the differential jobs from a volume? For example, I have one volume that has the initial full backup in it and 1 other differential job. Can I set it up so that only the differential job in there gets recycled every hour?
OR, say i have the flag "User Volume Once = yes", and I have 1 volume which is the first full backup, then 1 other volume which represents the differential backup, can I set up recycling only on the 2nd volume? I don't want to be doing a full backup every hour because of retention times, and I only want to do a full backup ONCE, then only differential. I have tried this (without the Use Volume Once flag) with a 3 hour retention period (since it takes about 2 and a half hours to do a full backup for my filesystem, and if I set the retention period lower than that then bacula runs the next differential job(which is hourly) as a full job...) and the problem is that after those 3 hours are up bacula creates a new full job in the first volume, since it sees it as being expired. I can't seem to figure out a decent plan using Bacula for my specific needs, it's driving me crazy. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by larryb...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
