Hello,
since one might recognize I asked for the following already one month
ago. But still I didn't find a satisfying solution and I think I didn't
point out enough last time what my problem is.
I want to have a failure resistent schedule (meaning: it should not be a
problem if a daily incremental-job fails due to missing tape or missing
client) with the following features:
- Three tapes for full backup
- Two tapes for incremental backup
- Schedule like follwing (W: weekly, D: daily):
[W1.full] -> [D1.inc] -> [W2.full] -> [D2.inc] -> [W3.full] ->
[D1.inc] -> [W1.full] -> [D2.inc] -> and so on...
Full backups will be done on fridays, incrementals mo-thu.
My current config, which works if no incremental fails, looks like the
following:
Schedule-definition:
Schedule {
Name = "NightlySave"
Run = Level=Full Pool=Weekly Friday at 23:00
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Daily Monday-Thursday at 23:00
}
Pool-definitions:
Pool {
Name = Weekly
Use Volume Once = yes
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 13d
LabelFormat = Friday-Tape_
RecycleOldestVolume = yes
Accept Any Volume = no
}
Pool {
Name = Daily
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Maximum Volumes = 2
MaximumVolumeJobs = 4
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 6d
LabelFormat = Daily-Tape_
RecycleOldestVolume = yes
Accept Any Volume = yesl
Volume Use Duration = 6d
}
The problem now is that if one of the daily incrementals fail, the
pool-definitions get shifted. This means that if the monday-incremental
is missing, the "Volume Use duration" gets a shift, meaning that the
volume will be needed on next monday (when the next volume should be in
use).
If one or more of the other incremental jobs fail the "maximum volume
jobs" gets problematic in a way that bacula will also ask for the tape
from previous week on next monday (clear?).
I really appreciate any help since this doesn't sound like a too
difficult schedule and I hope it's possible to make this working with
some failure tolerance.
Thanks in advance,
Dirk
