Hi Robert,
I think the important distinction that you haven't grasped is that you can use
the same pool for multiple jobs/schedules/levels. ;0)
For instance you could just have One pool e.g. "Default" and have volumes
labeled in that pool then tell all of your jobs (WeeklyFull, DailyDifferential,
Catalog, FoobarJob) to use the "Default" pool.
For instance consider the hypothetical directives below (bacula-dir.conf):
Pool {
Name = "Foobar"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 14 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
}
Pool {
Name = "FULL"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
}
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Client = "Some-Client"
Storage = "TAPE"
Messages = Standard
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = "Weekly Full"
Level = Full
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
FileSet = "ALL"
Schedule = "Weekly"
Pool = "FULL"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/WeeklyFull.bsr"
}
Job {
Name = "Daily Diff"
Level = Differential
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Fileset = "ALL"
Schedule = "WeekDays"
Pool = "Foobar"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/DailyDiff.bsr"
}
Job {
Name = "BackupCatalog"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Level = Full
Fileset = "Catalog"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup -u<user>
-p<password>"
RunAfterJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"
Pool = "Foobar"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/DailyDiff.bsr"
Priority = 11
}
Notice both of the "BackupCatalog" and "Daily Diff" jobs use the same pool
"Foobar"
In your case since you don't have an autoloader, you could create 2 jobs for
backing up the Catalog with 2 different schedules and pools used. I.E. have one
catalog backup scheduled to run after your Full backup using the same Pool as
your full backup, and one catalog backup scheduled to run after your
Differentials and use the same Pool as your Differential job.
Hope this helped...
Cheers,
Silas Bennett

I understand. I do this for the Weekly (Weekly pool) & Monthly (Monthly
pool) tape(s). These pools share the same tape device. But the switching of
the tape (not an autoloader) is not an option.

I'm interessed how you defined that situation in your bacula-dir.conf. Is it
possible if I can have a look at how you accomplished that?
