Hello Bill, Hello Lloyd,
may I present a VFull-Backup-Configuration in testenvironment which runs
only on Sundays while ervery other day (mon-sat) a incremental is running.
This is a Test-Configuration with the idea that if a VFull doesn't
succed it should be possible to repeat it within a week.
So there should be one VFull and about 3 months Incrementals (Backups To
Keep = 95).
My questions concerning VFull: For total storage requirement always
double quantity of a Full (Full + VFull the first time, VFull + VFull
the following times) plus backup quantity for 95 incrementals is needed?
And is a "Volume Retention time" or "Job Retention time" still necessary
when it says "Delete Consolidated Jobs = Yes"?
----
2 Schedules:
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Incremental Accurate=yes mon-sat at 22:23
}
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyVFullCycle"
Run = VirtualFull Accurate=yes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th sun at 03:23
}
A Job for the VFull:
Job {
Name = "VFullHomeAndEtc"
Type = Backup
Level = VirtualFull
Client = "ClientCent50-fd"
FileSet="Home and Etc"
Accurate = Yes
Backups To Keep = 95
Messages = Standard
Pool = VFull-Pool4Cent50-01
Next Pool = VFull-Pool4Cent50-02
Schedule = "WeeklyVFullCycle"
Delete Consolidated Jobs = Yes
}
And a Job for the Incremental (and First Normal-Full) Backup:
Job {
Name = "BackupClientCent50"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Client = ClientCent50-fd
Full Backup Pool = Full-Pool4Cent50
Incremental Backup Pool = Inc-Pool4Cent50
FileSet="Home and Etc"
Accurate = Yes
Backups To Keep = 95
Delete Consolidated Jobs = Yes
}
2 Extra-Pools for VFull-Backup (The Incrementals have their own Pool):
Pool {
Name = VFull-Pool4Cent50-01
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Action On Purge = Truncate
Volume Retention = 100 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1G # Test Volume size
Label Format = VFullcent50_01-
Maximum Volumes = 20
Next Pool = VFull-Pool4Cent50-02
Storage = File1
}
Pool {
Name = VFull-Pool4Cent50-02
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Action On Purge = Truncate
Volume Retention = 100 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1G # Test Volume size
Label Format = VFullcent50_02-
Maximum Volumes = 20
Next Pool = VFull-Pool4Cent50-01
Storage = File2
}
And then I have 3 scripts which are running after/before catalog-backup:
# Backup the catalog database (after the nightly save)
Job {
Name = "BackupCatalog"
...snip (catalog-backup)...
RunScript {
RunsWhen=Before
RunsOnClient=No
Console = "prune expired volume yes"
}
RunScript {
RunsWhen=After
RunsOnClient=No
Console = "purge volume action=truncate allpools storage=File1"
}
RunScript {
RunsWhen=After
RunsOnClient=No
Console = "purge volume action=truncate allpools storage=File2"
}
}
With Kind Regards
Alfred

I can't speak for Alfred, but I would love to see example configs of how
to set up a progressive virtual-full, the underlying jobs, pools, etc.
I'm sure I could muddle my way through it using the documentation, but I
find working from examples to be a good bit easier. Also more likely to
not only work, but work well.
Then again, I've never even gotten traditional virtual-full working.
It's been on my todo list for several years now. Go figure.

Does anyone have experience with Progressive VFull-Backups?
Yes, I do. Do you have more questions?
