Hello Leonardo
I don't know what is your exact problem, but for helping you is better have
more information.
I saw that you just have 6.3TB of storage, your full backups need about 2TB
of storage and you want keep at least 2 full backups.
I don't know for how long do you want to keep full backups, but a
suggestion:
Use 2 Pools (1 for Full and 1 for Incrementals)
Pool{
Name = "Incremental"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Autoprune = yes
LabelFormat = "Volume-Incremental-"
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50Gb
Maximum Volumes = 40 # 40 volumes X 50GB = 2TB
Storage = StorageLocal1
}
Pool{
Name = "Full"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Autoprune = yes
LabelFormat = "Volume-Full-"
Maximum Volume Bytes = 100GB
Maximum Volumes = 40 # 40 volumes X 100GB = 4TB
Storage = StorageLocal1
}
With this schedule you can achieve at least 15 days of backups full
Schedule {
Name = "Schedule_GFS"
# make incremental backups on monday to thursday on pool incremental
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Incremental on Monday-Thursday at 23:30
# make incremental backups on second, fourth and fifth friday on pool
incremental
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Incremental on 2nd,4th,5th Friday at
23:30
# make full backups on first and third friday on pool full
Run = Level=Full Pool=Full on 1st, 3rd Friday at 23:30
}
How you are a newbie in Bacula, I have a git repository with some confs
examples that can help you.

I tell my problem, it turns out that work with Linux for years but had
never touched Bacula, and complico me with programming
Backup of respect to the relationship of the schedule with jobs and the
pool, but nothing on the issue when they go recycling volumes and what I
have left of backup between recycled.
Basically I have the following
A server CENTOS with Bacula
Windows 12 clients which will do the backup to this server.
A total storage space for the Backup server is 6.3TB
The sum of all clients for initial Backup gives me almost 2TB
I'm interested in possible to have two full backup cycles and in between
incremental.
The client leaves me ignitions teams Monday to Friday (I'm going trailed
off as they finished their task of backup)
The point is that as I do not have much space and backup is great not to
rotate and how to recycle, and go emptying disk space to keep all always a
cycle like this:
Friday Full Backup
Incremental Backup Monday through Thursday
Maximo kept full backup 2 (since I can not have 3 that would be the
limit of storage).
Well that's my problem, really broadly slowly'm driving the Bacula since
started a week or so ago, but times recycling etc etc really not purge the
management and I really costs that topic.
>From already thank you very much
Best regards .
