Hey there, What are the best practices to deal with Bacula database size? Today i have configured my bacula for daily + weekly + monthly backups. Daily and Weekly pools have a volume retention period of 30 days while Monthly pool has no volume retention. Bacula is running from ~1 year, i have ~2.8To to backup, and I guess, because of the "no retention" policy, my database is now 13Gb.
Considering I have no choice but to keep all my mensual backups, anything I can do to "extract" these mensual backups from my catalog, while still having the possibility to restore any of them "as fast as I can" ? If I purge jobs from catalog, I won't be able to restore a single file/folder from tapes, but will have to bextract the whole tape and dig inside. If I create (let's say) yearly catalogs, I will lost my media database every year. Any suggestion appreciated!
