Re: [Bacula-users] Problem with Virtual Full
Hello Carlo, Which version of Bacula are you running? Could you post your configurations for using VirtualFull backups? Is there a log for the virtual full job?

For example, if disk storage is being used at both locations, then setting the Media Type for the Device at location 1 to "File-1" and the Media Type for the Device at location 2 to "File-2", then volumes written at both sites can belong to the same pool. When Bacula selects a volume from a pool, it will not select a volume that does not have the same Media Type as the Storage resource being used by the job. > I am using auto labelling as well and it works great. > > > -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] Question about Volume Pools and Strategy
It seems to be working a lot better with different volume pools at each storage location. I have one server backing up to the server at our office, and 2 servers backing up to the datacenter. Here is what I have so far: Pool { Name = office-p-monthly Pool Type = Backup Volume Retention = 6 months Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes LabelFormat = office-p-monthly- Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Maximum Volumes = 9 } Pool { Name = office-p-weekly Pool Type = Backup Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Volume Retention = 1 months Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes LabelFormat = office-p-weekly- Maximum Volumes = 7 } Pool { Name = office-p-daily Pool Type = Backup Maximum Volume Jobs = 6 Volume Retention = 14 days Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes LabelFormat = office-p-daily- Maximum Volumes = 6 } Pool { Name = datacenter-p-monthly Pool Type = Backup Volume Retention = 6 months Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes LabelFormat = datacenter-p-monthly- Maximum Volume Jobs = 2 Maximum Volumes = 9 } Pool { Name = datacenter-p-weekly Pool Type = Backup Maximum Volume Jobs = 2 Volume Retention = 1 months Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes LabelFormat = datacenter-p-weekly- Maximum Volumes = 7 } Pool { Name = datacenter-p-daily Pool Type = Backup Maximum Volume Jobs = 2 Volume Retention = 14 days Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes LabelFormat = datacenter-p-daily- Maximum Volumes = 6 } Quoting Carlo Filippetto: > I think you have to use one set of pool for every storage. > I think that you can write volumes of the same pool into different storage, > the problem may arrive when you have to restore... > > Try to a restore job... > > > This is my Schedule: > Schedule { >Name = "Custom" >Run = Level=Full Storage=ST-data Pool=P-Monthly 1st sat at 21:30 >Run = Level=Differential Storage=ST-data Pool=P-Weekly 2nd-5th sat > at 21:30 >Run = Level=Incremental Storage=ST-data Pool=P-Daily sun-fri at > 22:00 > } > > As you can see I set the Storage and Pool into every line, you can change > it. > > Why do you like to use a single pool? > If you have 2 storage may be more clear and easy to find every single > volumes if you have different pools.. > > Bye > > > > > > > 2015-11-04 0:38 GMT+01:00 Wesley Render : > >> Should each storage daemon/geographic storage location have it's own >> set of Volume Pools?

Re: [Bacula-users] Question about Volume Pools and Strategy
Ok. Thanks Josh. I've already created Pools for each storage location and done the initial full backups so I will most likely stick with this method. So far the backups appear to run a lot better using different pools for each storage location.

Re: [Bacula-users] Question about Volume Pools and Strategy
I think you have to use one set of pool for every storage. I think that you can write volumes of the same pool into different storage, the problem may arrive when you have to restore... Try to a restore job... This is my Schedule: Schedule { Name = "Custom" Run = Level=Full Storage=ST-data Pool=P-Monthly 1st sat at 21:30 Run = Level=Differential Storage=ST-data Pool=P-Weekly 2nd-5th sat at 21:30 Run = Level=Incremental Storage=ST-data Pool=P-Daily sun-fri at 22:00 } As you can see I set the Storage and Pool into every line, you can change it. Why do you like to use a single pool? If you have 2 storage may be more clear and easy to find every single volumes if you have different pools..
