I'm not currently using web interfaces, and i prefere to understand and work
at config file levels, but thanks.
Crossing your video and the bacula docs, i've understood some things but
still confused on other... particulary your video does not have volume
configuration...
Seems to me that differences between 'virtual full' and 'progressive virtual
full' is that the latter is full automatic, some sort of 'sliding backup,
while the former i have to choose when and how run the consilidation.
So for now i consider 'virtual full' for simplicity.
Seems also to me that it is preferable to have different pools for 'normal
backup' and 'consolidated full backup'.
Surely there's NO WAY to have only a full: the volume that consolidate the
full and other incremental/differential jobs cannot read and write to the
same volume (in the same or in different pool), so i need to have at least a
volume with a full to read from, and a volume into which write the new full
to.
Seems also to me that incremental/differential property is related to pool,
and follow the 'NextPool' keyword; so i can have a 'PoolA' that contain only
incremental/differential, linked to a 'PoolB' that contain the full, and job
will be all incremental/differential (until there's a full available, of
course).
So, for example, i can have 'PoolA' with 3 volumes and schedule Mon-Fry with
a retention of two weeks; Also i can have 'PoolB' (with 'NextPool = PoolB'
in PoolA) with two volume, and a weekly task (on Sun) that do a VirtualFull
backup on 2 volume, and a retention on one week.
In this way i can go back until 2 weeks (the previous full, with
their incrementals) at the cost of having DOUBLED the backup size (two
fulls).
I've understood well? There's some way to have only ONE full at a time?
Thanks.
