Thanks for this as it is exactly what I want to do too (except the annual full BUP) I am a little confused about setting up the jobs. If there are 2 jobs per client, how do they write tothe pools full1, incr1, full2 and incr2? I have all mine set to level = incremental and when there is a new vol

I don't think that will do what you want. The reason for 4 pools is to keep the incrementals on drive 1 relative to the fulls on drive 1, and the incrementals on drive 2 relative to the fulls on drive 2. If you have only 2 pools, then the incrementals will be relative to the last full b

You could probably do this with 4 pools. Each drive would contain volumes in two pools, one for full backups and one for incremental backups. For each client there would be two jobs, one backing up to drive 1 using pools "full1" and "incremental1" and another backing up to drive 2 using

Hi John, > After that I would adjust my scheduling to run the full backups on > Friday night so that after a change Full backups will be made. That's exactly what I want to avoid. I would like to: Do a full backup twice (once per HDD) per year and daily increment otherwise. In the sam

Hello, I'm doing a similar backup but with 3 disks : - 2 disks (A and B) connected as RAID. - a third disk. When I want to change a disk, I replace B with C and I rebuild the RAID. :) I'm using mdadm on Linux Like this, I limit a lot risks of destructions of backup. Hope this helps. S
