Hello guys: I'm running Bacula 7.4.0 to save backup of my Windows fileserver which has 4 drives (D:, F:, G:, H:) with 7.1 TB of total capacity.
I've ran a full backup during 7 days which occupied 5.8 TB (~20% compression rate) in a local filesystem with local SATA disks. This local filesystem is at 80% usage so I don't have enough free space to run a 2nd full backup. I was planning to run Full + Incremental + Differential backups like this: - Full -> 1st sunday - Differential -> 2nd-5th sunday - Incremental -> monday-saturday If my full backup takes 7 days to complete, how should I schedule my jobs? I created 3 Storage resources which each point to 3 different directories so I can run a Full+Incremental or Full+Differential jobs concurrently. Also, how long should my retention periods should be so I can run a new full backup without filling my disk up to 100%? I thought my retention period could be something like 30 days or less (maybe 21 days)... but .... if my last full backup is overwritten by the new full backup I guess I won't be able to have a valid copy during the time my new full backup is running (7 days approximately). Am I right? I hope you can understand how confused I am here. P.D. I only use bacula to make backups to this Windows fileserver and the Bacula server, no more clients are backed up. Thanks in advance for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
