Hello all,
We currently use amanda, and I've been trying out bacula in a lab environment. The ultimate goal will be to retain the same backup policy as we currently have, but using bacula (obviously) In reading the docs for Scheduling, I'm not clear on a couple of things. Would someone take the time to help me understand: First, our current policy: First day of the month, all clients get a Full backup. Every Friday, all clients get a Differential backup. Any day not mentioned above, every client gets an Incremental backup. To that end, I've created this: Schedule { Name = "MonthlyCycle" Run = Full on 1 at 21:05 Run = Differential on fri at 23:05 Run = Incremental sat-thu at 23:05 } In theory, that seems like it should do what I'm wanting. In practice, it seems that no matter what I set the system clock to, I get an incremental backup. (aside from the first run, which is a full obviously) Can anyone point me in the right direction? It seems to me that if multiple levels match a gven day, the "highest level" backup should be performed. for example, if the 1st is also a friday, that would match both a full, and a diff. Seems like the "full" should win. However, in manually setting the date on the director machine (and for good measure, restarting all bacula-dir/bacula-sd/bacula-fd) it seems that the opposite is true. I can't find any clarification in the docs, and would love to have this explained (or a pointer to docs I've missed?) Additionally, if I'm doing something obviously stupid.. a "Schedule" directive that would accomplish my above goals would be much appreciated. I can analyze that, and see what I did wrong. Thanks in advance for takig the time to read this, Jeff Palmer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
