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!
