Good afternoon,
We are running Bacula with Postgresql on Solaris and all is fine. I
understand the different retetion periods that Bacula handles and so but
have a problem.
I wanted to be doing two kind of different backups. I do explain. One of
them is the daily backup. The daily backup consists on :
- Monday -> Full backup
- rest of the days -> Inc backup
I keep this backups and catalogs during three weeks but seting the
following retention periods :
- File retention = 21 days
- Job retention = 22 days
- Volume retention = 23 days
But now.... is when the second kind of backup comes....
I wanted too, to preserve the following backups too :
- One full backup per month
- One inc backup per week
Keep them for two years. So, obviously I need to set different retention
periods for this backup. I have though using a different pool and
catalog and using different file, job and volume retention.... but I have
seen that File retention is per client assigned. So I can't set two
different file retention for the same client even when I use different
catalogs for each backup kind. How would you recommend me to handle this
task with Bacula?.
By the way... I'm interested on being able to restore by file for month
to month backups and a restoration should be fast... can't take ages for
restoring full backup or for generating a catalog with which later can
restore by file granularity level....
I can say I have a good in resources, buffers and so, Postgresql
server... but.... that's all... I needed to be able to restore...
without spending too many time in creating catalogs and so....
At present I have been doing some sort of this... but have had to
generate a different client for the same machine... in order to use
different file retention periods... and wanted to know if exists a
better way of achieving
all this... thanks a lot mates....
Any ideas mates?,
Best regards,
