Hello,
I have a offsite rotation that I need to set up with bacula. Currently
we have our tapes taken off site by a service (not an employee) and this
service does not happen on holidays or weekends. The current schedule
works like so:
We have 3 pools, 2 Daily (MTh and WF) and 1 weekly pool (W1)
All backups happen at 2:30pm
Monday, pool MTh arrives, WF departs
Tuesday, pool W1 arrives, MTh departs
Wednesday, pool WF arrives, W1 departs
Thursday, pool MTh arrives, WF departs
Friday, pool WF arrives, MTh departs
(Saturday and Sunday are just written to the WF pool)
These are our DR tapes, and it is scheduled this way so at any given
time only one pool on site. (not a perfect rotation, but a start).
Now my issue is this: Monday is a holiday and the service will not be
bringing tapes, so the MTh pool will not be in the library, and bacula
will be expecting that pool. I imagine (from past experience) bacula
will call for user intervention to insert the pool/tapes and not run the
backup until that time. What I'd like to do is force/override the
schedule to use WF pool instead of the MTh pool.
My schedule directive is:
Schedule {
Name = "DB_Offsite"
Run = SpoolData=yes Pool=DB_Offsite_W1 Level=Full tue at 14:30
Run = SpoolData=yes Pool=DB_Offsite_MTh Level=Incremental mon thu at
14:30
Run = SpoolData=yes Pool=DB_Offsite_WF Level=Incremental wed fri sat
sun at 14:30
}
If I add in another run like:
Run = SpoolData=yes Pool=DB_Offsite_WF Level=Incremental may 28 at
14:30
to change the pool used, from what I understand from the bacula manual,
I'll have two jobs running at the same time, because one is set to run
on a monday at 14:30, and then the new one that runs on may 28th (which
is also a monday).
Any ideas or suggestion to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Deric
