Dear List,
This is my first e-mail, im toying around with Bacula for quite some time
now and i must say im quite impressed with its possibilites.
Currently i think i have tested backup roughly enough to replace our current
backup system (a simple tar czvf ;)). I have about 14 clients configured in
Bacula now, they are all talking nicely to the director. Setted up the
storage daemon etc. etc.
However, one thing i just cant quite figure out is Volume Usage and
duration. My backup scheme is as follows;
full backup at suni
incremental backups mon-sat
I want to keep Incremnetal backups for one week Until the Next Full, and i
want to keep Full backups one month.
I have definied this as followed in the Director's config:
- All 16 JobDefs have;
- At the JobDefs { Section;
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Rerun Failed Levels = yes
Pool = Default
Full Backup Pool = Full-Pool
Incremental Backup Pool = Inc-Pool
- at the Client { section ;
File Retention = 1 months # 1 month
Job Retention = 1 months # 1 month
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
Schedule is as follows;
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Full sun at 21:05
Run = Incremental mon-sat at 22:05
}
I have the pools configured as following;
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 30 days # one month
# Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1m
Volume Use Duration = 1m
Maximum Volume Jobs = 14
Label Format = SBP-server16-Full
}
Pool {
Name = Inc-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 6d
Volume Use Duration = 6d
Maximum Volume Jobs = 14
Label Format = SBP-server16-Inc
}
My question basically is, is this setup going to work? I have followed the
manual on automated disk backup but after reading that im not quite sure
what to do.
Thanks in advance for any reply/comments or suggestions!
Kind regards,
Gijs Roeffen
