Re: [Bacula-users] problems with configuring every-day full backup
Hi,
i think the RetentionTime (20h) is too long.
After writing 6-8 hours to the media,
and then adding the Retention of 20 hours,
the volume is reusable after 26-28 hours.
why not using RetentionTime of 1 minute?
bacula will recycle the volumes at jobstart, when no appendable volume
is available.

I see problem with your setup...
What will happened if your backup fails or server fails when you are
doing backup? (Answer: There will be no backup at all)
Why: Because you reuse your backup media.
So probably if you modify your setup to hold the media for more than 24H
you should be OK.

[Bacula-users] problems with configuring every-day full backup
Hello,
I'm having problems with configuring one backup. It should be every-day full
backup, runned at 00:05, where about 100GB of files are backed up
(compressed approx. 50GB). It takes about 6-8 hours (client and storage are
2 different servers on the same network).
The backup should use the same volumes, which are 4GB files, that means
recycle and rewrite them by next run, because it's sufficient to hold the
last-day state of files.
Thanks a a lot,
Peter
