[Bacula-users] Per-pool incremental backup
Hello, Bacula seems to track files and backup times per-catalog. Let's say I have two pools of volumes and I want to take one offsite every other week. When the other volumes from the other pool are put into the tape drive it won't backup all the differences from the last time that pool was backed up. E.g. Pool1: P1Vol1, P1Vol2 Pool2: P2Vol1, P2Vol2 Let's say Pool1 backs up up one week, then Pool2 backs up the next week. When Pool1 volumes are backed up next they will only backup the differences from the last time the Client backed up in the Catalog (which was P2Vol2's last backup). Is there a way to Make P2Vol2 next run backup all files that have changed since P2Vol2's last (incremental) backup rather than the Client's last backup? Alternatively is there a way to change the Catalog that a Job uses in the Schedule? This I think would accomplish the same goals as the tracking done to tell last backup is done Per-catalog/client and not Per-pool/client. Thanks, - Jesse P.S.

Would it be too much pain to have 2 jobs with the same fileset?
