Hi, I'm still tweaking my bacula config - haven't had much time the last week.
I decided to use 3 pools for my 2 server and only perform a full backup for each server on the weekend (daily incr. backups to disk are done with another tool). 1. pool MKS -> 3 tapes -> server1 (weekly full, every sun, full backup = 1 tape) 2. pool BangArchive -> 3 tapes -> server2 (archive, every 1st sat, full backup = 3 tapes) 3. pool Bang -> 6 tapes -> server2 (weekly full, 2nd-5th sat, full backup = 3 tapes) I backup the catalog after every full backup to the appropriate pool/tape. The 6 tapes of the 'Bang' pool will be sufficient for 2 full backups (2x 3 tapes) including the catalog. How can I achieve that only one weekly backup (pool Bang) and the proper catalog file will be backed up to 3 tapes and the next weekly/catalog backup uses the other 3 tapes? Thus no weekly backup would be appended to a tape with a previous backup. Well, I could define 2 seperate pools for this (2nd and 4th / 3rd and 5th, 1st is the achive job), but I think there must be a more elegant way. Would "Maximum Volume Jobs = 2" do what I want? I hope someone may understand what I mean ;) RAlf ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?
