This is what I would do.
Job {
Name = "lpsoar01_job_D"
JobDefs = "DailyJobDefs"
FileSet = "lpsoar01_fileset"
Schedule = *"CustomCycle"*
}
JobDefs {
Name = "DailyJobDefs"
Type = Backup
Level = Full
Client = bareos-fd
Schedule = "DailyFullCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = DailyFullCyclePool
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"
Full Backup Pool = DailyFullCyclePool # write Full
Backups into "Full-Pool" Pool
Differential Backup Pool = Differential # write Diff Backups into
"Differential" Pool
Incremental Backup Pool = Incremental # write Incr Backups into
"Incremental" Pool
}
Pool {
Name = *Daily*
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 7 days
Maximum Volume Jobs = 100
Label Format = Daily-
Maximum Volumes = *7*
}
*Pool { Name = Weekly Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 31 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 100 Label Format =
Weekly- Maximum Volumes = 5}*
*Pool {*
* Name = Monthly Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 181 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 100 Label Format =
Monthly- Maximum Volumes = 6}*
*Schedule {*
* Name = CustomCycle*
* Run = Level=Full **Pool=**Daily **1st sun at 22:00*
* Run = Level=Full **Pool=**Weekly* *2nd-5th sun at 22:00*
* Run = Level=Full Pool=**Monthly mon-sat at 22:00*
*}*
I hope you are able to see the bold text, but basically you create 3 pools
and a custom schedule that will take care of writting to the specific pool
you need. I have no tested this configuration so it is at your discretion.
Good luck.
