You can purge entire volumes only, not select data. If you wish to only purge some data, you need to have multiple volumes and use them in a rotation. A word of advice, limit your volume size to 1/10 to 1/20th (or even more) of the size of your disk array so that proper volume management has a chance to work. Having only a few giant volumes does not play well with complex schedules and retention periods.

It is at least as strong as https, which is used for many things, including financial transactions. Is there a more secure solution ? None easily available. Security is a trade off between risk and convenience. It's secure enough for what I do. I can't tell you if it's secure enough for what you do. Only you can decide that. It is possible to use ssh tunnel, but it is really painfull to administrate on a large number of machines. TLS will be at least as secure as ssh. http://openvpn.net is your friend in a time of need.of security, that is. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Bacula-users] Volume recycle

I have a simple volume recycle problem. I’ve searched posts and see
similar problems but have not found the answer.
I have a small system that backs up to a external USB hard drive. I
can’t get bacula to overwrite/reuse a volume name on the physical device.
Details:
Pool {
Name = RKSBackup
PoolType = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
VolumeRetention = 7 days
RecycleOldestVolume = yes
PurgeOldestVolume = yes
Volume Use Duration = 6 days
LabelFormat = Week-
}
I recycle my backups every 4 weeks. My backup volumes are
Week-1,Week-2...Week-4.
At then end of Week-1 the next volume (Week-2) will be used and they
just keep rotating this works perfect.
Problem:
If there is not enough physical room on the USB hard drive to finish a
backup or start a new one then I’m prompted to mount a new volume. The
only way I’ve found to get around this problem is to manually delete the
oldest volume from the USB hard drive. I thought that is what the
Recycle and AutoPrune parameters would do. Looks like these parameters
update the catalog but they don’t physically remove the data from the
backup drive. How do I tell Bacula to overwrite the actual data on the
backup device?
Thanks,
Robert
i've got the same problem...if you want to call it
a problem. the bacula docs state bacula will
attempt to keep the data as long as friggn
possible (for obvious reasons). if any of the
criteria for recycling is not met, then the volume
will not get purged(overwritten)..i think. its
also worth noting that :
Automatic recycling of Volumes is performed by
Bacula only when it wants a new Volume and no
appendable Volumes are available in the Pool
i imagine that i/we will have to get creative with
the appropriate directives to get it to do what we
want based on the info here. i'll continue to
re-read this page in hopes of resolving this
unwanted behavior.
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html
i have not (as of yet) found a way to force the
volume to be (automagically) purged. based on one
or two criteria.
