Hello,
I'm trying to set up disk backup jobs. I've included my config at the
end of this msg, but i'm confused as to the difference between job
retention, and volume retention in the client definition, and volume
retention in the pool definition. I've read the bacula manual on these
topics, and i understand the shortest one takes priority, but i'm not sure
the values to set.
I've got a machine that has two jobs with it. The first backs up general
files, and i want it to back up according to it's schedule, and have bacula
automatically handle volume rotation. The second job is a monthly back up of
/home, where i want it to do one full backup and the incrementals until the
next full. And again automatic volume rotation, i.e. month 2's full volume
overwrites the current one and the incrementals do the same.
The problem i'm having is i'm occationally getting the error no
appendable volumes, which tells me i don't have my retention periods quite
right for this setup. Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.
