Hello, we want to setup a small Bacula system to backup all our servers. The backups should be saved on 3 rotating 1TB external HDD's. We want to have the following backup types: -Daily differential backups who are saved for only a few days. -Weekly full backups who are saved for a few weeks -Monthly full backups who are saved for a few months. All backup types should be saved on the same hdd's. The hdd's should rotate every week. So I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on one server and compiled Bacula 3.01 on it. I created for every backup type one pool and for every hdd 8 volumes in the daily pool(so 24 volumes total), 5 volumes in the weekly poll(15 total) and also 5 volumes in the monthly pool(15 total). All pools have 1 Day use duration. If all volumes of one pool are full I want to purge the oldest one by hand. Now my Questions are: -Is there a command for Bconsole which shows me all volumes that are currently accessible for the storage daemon? So that I can see which volumes are on the hdd who is actually connected with the server and I can easier choose one to purge. -Is there perhaps a better setup who efforts the same requirements but who is easier to administrate?.
I hope I was able to convey you my problem and sorry if there was already a similar question, I didn't found one.
