Hello Thomas,
thanks a lot for your answer. You're right, the Bacula documentation reads
"This directive is ***required**" as you stated. Unfortunately I didn't
remember this information. I used the examples given in the online version of
the Bareos documentation(cf.
http://http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html)
where you can find this (deleted all stuff not needed for this discussion, see
my comments in <<>>):
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = bareos-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Full Backup Pool = Full-Pool
Incremental Backup Pool = Inc-Pool
Differential Backup Pool = Diff-Pool
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"
}
<< NO Pool directive here >>
Job {
Name = client
Client = client-fd
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
FileSet = "Full Set"
}
<< NO Pool directive here>>
# Backup the catalog database (after the nightly save)
Job {
Name = "BackupCatalog"
Client = client-fd
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Level = Full
FileSet="Catalog"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
# This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog
# Arguments to make_catalog_backup.pl are:
# make_catalog_backup.pl <catalog-name>
RunBeforeJob = "/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog"
# This deletes the copy of the catalog
RunAfterJob = "/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"
# This sends the bootstrap via mail for disaster recovery.
# Should be sent to another system, please change recipient accordingly
Write Bootstrap = "|/usr/sbin/bsmtp -h localhost -f \"\(Bareos\) \" -s
\"Bootstrap for Job %j\" root@localhost"
Priority = 11 # run after main backup
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Label Format = Full-
Maximum Volumes = 9
}
Pool {
Name = Inc-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 20 days
Maximum Volume Jobs = 6
Label Format = Inc-
Maximum Volumes = 7
}
Pool {
Name = Diff-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 40 days
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Label Format = Diff-
Maximum Volumes = 10
}
Because there wasn't a standard pool directive neither in the DefaultJob nor in
the client job I concluded that the "Full Backup Pool" etc. directives
substitute the standard pool directive. That was obviously wrong but I think
the example in the documentation is a bit misleading or did I get something
wrong here?
Anyway, thanks again and especially for the concept of using a dummy pool.
Best regards
Oliver
