[Bacula-users] working and testing at the same time?

2005-10-22 Thread Ross Boylan
I have a bunch of jobs/filesets I want to backup. Since this is the first time, I'd like to test them first. Potentially, I could get job 1 the way I like it and start it while working on the next jobs specifications. Is there a way to do so, and is it a good idea? First, will bacula be able to

2005-10-22 Thread Ross Boylan
I am backing up to disk and attempting to create volumes (i.e., files) labelled with the date that will hold, for example, a few days backup. I want a new volume to be created after a few days. Something is going wrong, because I'm using terribly old volumes: llist volume=Inc2005-06-23_0040

Thanx Arno, I'll consider commenting out the MaxVolJobs and using the VolUseDuration. If I use a VolUseDuration = 24h , I should have each volume being marked as Used 24 hours after the daily backup, so I should be enough sure to have it recycled next week-day. Is it correct? Then comes up a pos
