Hi guys I have got a question that I was wondering how does bacula pick a pool for a manual job.
If my memory serviced me correct the correct pool was picked in version 2.0.3 when you run the backup manually. But now it defaults to the Default pool everytime. If the jobs are scheduled the right pool is selected for the job. As can been seen in the example I have Pool = Default Full Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Full-Pool Incremental Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Inc-Pool Differential Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Diff-Pool Thanks Christoff Here is an example: Bacula-dir.conf ----------------------- <snip> Client { Name = Freightware-fd Address = Freightware FDPort = 9102 Password = "db14020e22005a9341bdc659fc704da5" Catalog = MyCatalog FileRetention = 30 days JobRetention = 31 days AutoPrune = yes } Job { Name = Freightware_sys Type = Backup Client = Freightware-fd FileSet = Freightware_sys-fs Pool = Default Full Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Full-Pool Incremental Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Inc-Pool Differential Backup Pool = Freightware_sys-Diff-Pool Schedule = Disk1-WeeklyCycle Storage = Freightware_sys-sd Messages = Standard Write Bootstrap = /var/bacula/working/Freightware_sys.bsr Priority = 10 } FileSet { Name = Freightware_sys-fs Include { Options { compression=gzip8 signature = MD5 } File = / File = /boot File = /x File = /u } Exclude { File = /dev File = /proc File = /sys File = /u/SAG/ada File = /u/SAG/dba } } Pool { Name = Freightware_sys-Full-Pool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes RecycleOldestVolume = yes Use Volume Once = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 1 month Maximum Volume Bytes = 20g Label Format = Freightware_sys-Full- } Pool { Name = Freightware_sys-Diff-Pool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes RecycleOldestVolume = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 1 month Maximum Volume Bytes = 10g Label Format = Freightware_sys-Diff- } Pool { Name = Freightware_sys-Inc-Pool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes RecycleOldestVolume = yes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 1 month Maximum Volume Bytes = 5g Maximum Volume Jobs = 6 Label Format = Freightware_sys-Inc- } Storage { Name = Freightware_sys-sd Address = bacula # N.B.
