Hello, how are you doing? I'm having a bit of a struggle with bacula and his
configuration of pools.
I am running a bacula server without tapes disk so backups go directly to a
hard drive. Because of this limitation I thought that a maximum volume bytes
was not necessary so I commented that part in the pools file. Now, I have some
pools than have like 1,5 TB.
The problem is that I'm partially confused on how bacula manage my
configuration for a pool. This is the configuration for differential backups.
Pool {
Name
= "All_Diff"
LabelFormat = "All_Differential"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 8 days
#Maximum Volume Bytes = 50GB
#Maximum Volumes = 100
}
I'm not quite sure what Recycle, AutoPrune and Volumen Retention actually does.
What I understand reading the docs is
Volume Retention: time until the volume goes to a purge state
AutoPrune: automatically delete the information from the catalog when
the Volume Retention is reached.
Recycle: reuse the volume so you don't have a lot off volumes.
What I thought is that this will mean that the volume will get erased every 8
days so it will go to 0 and backup again but this is not working.
I need to disable Recycle and make the bacula writes a new volume every 8 days
and delete the old ones with a script?
Thanks for your help!
