[Bacula-users] Does Bacula allow me to configure different backup retention policies based on job age ?

2024-01-21 Thread MylesDearBusiness via Bacula-users
Hello,

How would I configure different backup retension policies (ie. backup 
densities) ?

For example, for backups over a year old, I only want to retain backups every 
three months.

For backups over six months old, I only want to retain backups every two months.

For bacups within the last six months, I want to retain monthly backups

Then, I want to do something similar with weekly backups.

Doable?

Thanks !

Hello Bill,

Thank you for this information, I'll give this a try. I looked through this 
last night and it appears to be great for what I need. I've noticed that in 
/opt/bacula/scripts/ from the 13.0.3 binaries there is a baculabackupreport  
.sh script. I'm assuming that the Python script via GitHub is maintained and 
the included .sh script is not?


Hello Jamison,

Yeah, please do not even look at that one that is currently included with the 
community source. It is embarrassing. :)

The script started out as a small bash script which sent a basic text email. Then as people requested more features, I added 
some awk, which then became a LOT of awk - to the point of the now bash/awk script finally being a completely unmaintainable 
mess.  I always knew it would have to be rewritten in something else like Python, and a couple years ago I finally started a 
complete re-write.


Please only use the Python version available on g
ithub. This one is the one that will be maintained.

In newer versions of Bacula community (and possibly Enterprise), this file will be replaced with a text file having a short 
note and a URL link to the github version. :)




Also, if I have any questions or recommendations in the future, can I reach out 
to you here or should I contact you elsewhere?


You can always write to the mailing list if it is something everyone on the list can benefit from. If it is something that 
should be added/tracked (ie: bug or feature request) I may ask you to create an issue in github and we can continue the 
issue-specific conversation there.


Welcome to the Bacula Community mailing list!


Best regards,
Bill
