Hi folx,
I am new to bacula and my setup is working (mostly).
I am using bacula 2.2.0 with a HP Storage Works 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader.
The goal ist to use 6 tapes (1 for each day) and have one slot with "take
away" tapes (weekly/monthly backups).
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Monday Monday at 23:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Tuesday Tuesday at 23:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Wednesday Wednesday at 23:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Thursday Thursday at 23:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Friday Friday at 23:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Saturday Saturday at 23:05
Run = Level=Full Pool=Monthly 1st Sunday at 23:05
Run = Level=Full Pool=Weekly 2nd-5th Sunday at 23:05
}
and the pool defnitions for the various weeksdays are like:
Pool {
Name = Monday
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 5d
Maximum Volumes = 1
}
and for the weekly/monthly:
# 6 tapes for weeks
Pool {
Name = Weekly
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 40d
Maximum Volumes = 6
}
# 13 tapes for months
Pool {
Name = Monthly
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 360d
Maximum Volumes = 13
}
However I do not want bacula to *append* to each tape every e.g. Monday,
but I want it to rewrite the tape, but this doesn't work. Do I also
have to specify
Use Volume Once = yes
I don't want to use
Maximum Volume Jobs = nnn
as there is a (growing) number of jobs and I don't want to have to
modify all the pools each time a new job is added.
Do I have to specify a
Recycle Pool = Monday
or will this work automatically?
Currently e.g. the tape "Tuesday" is in status "Full" and I cannot get
the config to work, so that it gets overridden next Tuesday.
The tapes in the Changer, names and assignment to the pools are IMHO
correct.
# mtx status
Storage Changer /dev/changer:1 Drives, 8 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 2 Loaded):VolumeTag = VHX537L2
Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=VHX536L2
Storage Element 2:Empty
Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=VHX538L2
Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=VHX539L2
Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=VHX540L2
Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=VHX541L2
Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=VHX542L2
Storage Element 8 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty
mysql> select VolumeName,PoolId,Slot from Media order by VolumeName;
+------------+--------+------+
| VolumeName | PoolId | Slot |
+------------+--------+------+
| VHX536L2 | 2 | 1 |
| VHX537L2 | 3 | 2 |
| VHX538L2 | 4 | 3 |
| VHX539L2 | 5 | 4 |
| VHX540L2 | 6 | 5 |
| VHX541L2 | 7 | 6 |
| VHX542L2 | 8 | 7 |
...
mysql> select PoolId,Name,NumVols from Pool;
+--------+-----------+---------+
| PoolId | Name | NumVols |
+--------+-----------+---------+
| 1 | Default | 0 |
| 2 | Monday | 1 |
| 3 | Tuesday | 1 |
| 4 | Wednesday | 1 |
| 5 | Thursday | 1 |
| 6 | Friday | 1 |
| 7 | Saturday | 1 |
| 8 | Weekly | 6 |
| 9 | Monthly | 13 |
+--------+-----------+---------+
Also, is there a way to have bacula skip jobs after some time?
The job on Tuesday didn't work out as the tape was marked full.
The 'list jobs' command now says that the job is still running but I
cannot cancel it (no such job).
+-------+--------------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+-----------------+-----------+
| JobId | Name | StartTime | Type | Level |
JobFiles | JobBytes | JobStatus |
+-------+--------------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+-----------------+-----------+
| 234 | EFN-SRV01.INTRANET | 2007-10-02 23:05:02 | B | I |
0 | 0 | R |
+-------+--------------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+-----------------+-----------+
Also the Wednesday job did not run (probably because the Tueday job is
still in queue).
How do I cancel this job (besides stopping bacula and modifying the
MySQL database and marking the job as cancelled).
Thanks!
