Hi All, I have a data set that i'd like to backup thats large and not very important. Backing it up is a "nice to have" not a must have. I've been trying to find a way to back it up to disk that isnt disruptive to the normal flow of backups, but everytime i end up in a place where bacula wants to do a full backup of it (which takes too long and ends up getting cancelled).
Currently im using 7.0.5 and something i noticed in the 7.4 tree is the ability to resume stopped jobs but from my brief testing of it I wont quite do what Im after either. Ideally what im trying to achieve is give bacula 1 hour a night to backup as much as it can and then stop. Setting a time limit doesnt work cause the backup just gets cancelled and it forgets everything its backed up already and tries to start from scratch again the following night. VirtualFull doesnt really do what im after either and i've also tried populating the database directly in a way that makes it think its already got a full backup (varying results, and none of them fantastic). A full backup of the dataset in one hit isnt realistically achievable. Before I give up though, im curious if anyone has tried doing similar and what results/ideas they had that might work? Thanks in advance! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
