Hello, First of all, thanks for the commands, those helped me much and I think I should use the bconsole more often instead of the GUI. I think I know what the problem is. I had a long-term job at the beginning and somehow this is where my storage got eaten up. There are consolidated jobs, which are not touched since 15 days and list "jobs volume=AI-Consolidated-0001" returns nothing. I will clean them up manually.
Our goal was to do always incremental backups every 7 days, but with monthly backups for three months. Until now, we had a script which writes hardlinks everywhere it can, so there every backup was a full backup and even the 3 month old was in the incremental chain. This will save huge ammounts of space. Is this also possible with bareos? For illustration purpose: Thanks in Advance, Simon [email protected] schrieb am Donnerstag, 25.
