Hello everyone,
I have 5 hosts to backup, currently I have a single job setup for each
host, and bacula's been running a full on sun and diffs every other day
like it's supposed to. Now my backup HDD is full and I need to setup
bacula for the long term. The backup HDD can hold two weeks worth of
backups using my 1 full/6 diffs scheme. I want to configure this so
rotates backups and always overwrites the older backup, from two weeks
ago. The only way I can see to do this is by using 2 pools, 2 schedules,
and 2 jobs-per-client , but I figured I'd see if anyone knows of a
better(easier) way before I set it all up. Thanks.
Using the right combination of retention times, automatic pruning, a
fixed number of volumes per pool and Recycle Oldest Volume = yes might
help you.
By the way - doing full backups weekly and only keeping them two weeks
is, in my opinion, not the best solution - I'd prefer to keep backups
for a longer period of time, and if you have problems with lots of full
backups lying around you could use a backup scheme with monthly fulls,
weekly diffs and daily incrementals. Especially using disk based
volumes, the price in terms of media access times during restore is low,
you don't need much more space, and you can go back much further.
