Greetings all. I just joined the mailing list.
I've been playing with Bacula 5.x for a while now and I have some
questions.
Is Bacula 7.x ready for production or should I stick with 5.x? 5.x seems to
be the default on some Linux distros.
As far as Windows clients are concerned. Which version should I be using
for Bacula 5.x? I downloaded the binaries from the source forge page but
those haven't been updated since 2012. They seem to work fine for the most
part but I did experience a fatal networking error once or twice. Something
else could have been the culprit there though.
As of now I've been backing up a single server to a 1TB SATA drive. A full
backup is about 400 GB or so. It mostly works fine but I run into
retention/recycling issues after a while. I've made some tweaks over time
and it seems to work better but I'd like some input on this from someone
for experienced with Bacula.
The job schedule is as follows...
Level=Full sun at 00:00 , Level=Differential mon-sat at 00:00
Basically I'd like this job to do this every week and prune old data when
the media fills up. I originally set the retention period for the volume to
7 days, job retention to 30 days. The job is set to auto prune as well.
However after about two weeks the media fills up and the job can no longer
write to that volume. Today I just set the retention periods to 1 day just
to see what would happen over time? Is this a bad idea? What would be a
sane config to meet my goal?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
--
