[Bacula-users] Deleting DIFFERENTIAL Jobs from Volumes

Hello again, A new question : Is there a way I can set up Bacula so that it recycles only the differential jobs from a volume? For example, I have one volume that has the initial full backup in it and 1 other differential job. Can I set it up so that only the differential job in there gets

I see your point. Interesting. So I can make it so that each new differential backup that gets created writes itself in a totally new volume for that particular job ? Is there an option for this I need to add to the pool or ?

Re: [Bacula-users] Deleting DIFFERENTIAL Jobs from Volumes

Think about it this way: If you're backing up to tape, jobs smaller than a full tape waste tape, because you can't make the tape smaller. But if you're backing up to disk, putting more than one batch of jobs into a volume wastes disk. Because you can't compact a disk volume, and you can't

Hey guys, Thanks for the replies and good advice. The reason I thought of this backup plan is because what I need to back up are multiple dynamic file systems from abut 20 servers. These file systems contain data that is always changing since they contain various dynamic application files. I

Hello dear community, I could use some advice on the following scenario: The Bacula job that I have set up is ran on an HOURLY basis, the first backup being FULL and the rest that follow are all differential. What I need to know is how do I set up my job so that it deletes the previous
