Based on recent discussions the list, I'm experimenting with cleaning up the
bacula-dir.conf, and defining one job for each client instead of defining
"Full" and "Incremental" jobs with different names and hard-coded levels.
For example, I've changed:
Job {
Name = "snickers-full"
Client = snickers-fd
JobDefs = "DefaultFullJob"
Write Bootstrap = "/usr/local/bacula/var/working/snickers.bsr"
Schedule = "Full-Thu"
}
Job {
Name = "snickers-inc"
Client = snickers-fd
JobDefs = "DefaultIncJob"
Write Bootstrap = "/usr/local/bacula/var/working/snickers.bsr"
Schedule = "Inc-Thu"
}
to
Job {
Name = "snickers"
Client = snickers-fd
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Write Bootstrap = "/usr/local/bacula/var/working/snickers.bsr"
Schedule = "Thu"
}
Now, the "run" directives in the Schedule determine whether the specific job
will be a Full or Incremental/Differential backup.
So far, this looks good.
However, when I run an incremental backup, I get the message:
No prior Full backup Job record found.
No prior or suitable Full backup found. Doing FULL backup.
I understand the message, but I don't want to do a full backup. The client and
FileSet are unchanged, so a full backup of "snickers" does exist (under the job
name "snickers-full").
Is there any way to instruct Bacula to base it's idea of whether a Full backup
exists on the combination of the client name and the fileset, not on the job
name? Essentially, can the new "snickers" job be an alias for both
"snickers-full" and "snickers-inc"?
Also, if I do go ahead with the change to the job names, will the existing
job (and file and volume) records be purged according to their existing
retention periods, even if those jobs are no longer being run?
Thanks,
Mark
