Re: [Bacula-users] full and diff backups to differnt storages

An RDX drive for full backups and an LTO drive for the differntials. So I defined: Jobs : full_Job and diff_Job FileSets : only one for both jobs togehter called data_FileSet Schedules : data_full_Schedule and data_diff_Schedule Storages : LTO_Storage and RDX_Storage Now I believed starting a full_Job to RDX_Storage allows to run a diff_Job to LTO_storage next time backing up only the difference. But my diff_Job makes also one full backup per schedule rotation. How it's possible to get both backups togehter, so that diff_Job's were based on last full_Job? Hi, you can't split full and diff backups into different jobs. When Bacula makes a differential backup, it looks for a full backup of the same job to base it on. Just use the (Full|Differential|Incremental) Backup Pool options in a *single* job definition to tell Bacula to put each level into a different pool, then set the storage to use in the pool definitions.

Re: [Bacula-users] full and diff backups to differnt storages
To add some more; I saw parameters like Full Backup Pool and Differntial Backup Pool for Job definition and also Run = Full ... or Run = Differential ... for scheduling. But how to difference the Storage-Device and RunBefore/AfterJob parameters in such an only_on_job_definition_with_two_different_storages scenario?

Yes:
Full Backup Pool = FullFile
Differential Backup Pool = DiffFile
Incremental Backup Pool = IncrFile
But how to difference the Storage-Device and RunBefore/AfterJob parameters
in such an only_on_job_definition_with_two_different_storages scenario?
This is achieved with the Storage directive within the Pool Resource,
for example:
Pool {
Name = FullFile
Pool Type= Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune= yes
Volume Retention = 3 years
Storage = MegaFile
Next Pool= Fulls
Maximum Volume Bytes = 5G
LabelFormat = FullAuto-
}

Re: [Bacula-users] full and diff backups to differnt storages
Just use the (Full|Differential|Incremental) Backup Pool options in a *single* job definition to tell Bacula to put each level into a different pool, then set the storage to use in the pool definitions. I found the same thing the same time. I've postet new matching quesitions the samt time you answered. In short and more specific now: - I'll replace Pool = with Full Backup Pool = _and_ Differential Backup Pool = in only one Job. This is an fact I understand. - I have to move the Storage = parameter from Job to the Pool definitions? - I have to decide for only one MaxStartDelay, this may be no problem. - I remove the Level = parameter from Job because it is defined in Schedule. - What to do with RunBefore/AfterJob parameters which are different for the Storages? I believe I can use only one per Job, so I have to decide the action inside the script. Is there any posibillity to give a paramter like full or differential to the script? Am I right? Especially with moving the Storage parameter? And what to do with the Job. Thank you for your help.

One of the parameters to RunBefore/After scripts is the level. You can take action based on that incoming parameter. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/ -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!

Re: [Bacula-users] full and diff backups to differnt storages
Yes, please read the documentation on scripts. :) I'll do so. Please provide an link because I can't find anything at bacula.org or /usr/share/doc describing variables like %c or %l (I guess %c = client name, %l = backup level).

Rather than feed you a link, let me show you how I'd find this. You want RunScript. This you already know. RunScript appears in a Job. Therefore, look at the Job Resource documentation. Then search within that page for RunScript. One hint: start here: http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/index.html Also, specifying this in your google search helps to restrict the results: site:www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/ If you need further help finding this documentation on RunScript parameters, please ask, but I think people will start suggesting other products instead of Bacula. ;) -- Dan Langille -- http://langille.org/ -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!

That's true, but I hope the functionality is never removed. It is still needed to make Full backups use different pools on different days such as http://www.bacula.org/5.1.x-manuals/en/main/main/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html#SECTION00286 __Martin -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
