I've been evaluating Bacula to use for backing up a Linux+Samba fileserver and a few other Linux application servers to tape. Right now, some Windows servers in the same machine-room are backed up as daily full backups on a weekly rotation, using BackupExec. Someone goes in once a day during business hours, puts away last night's tape, and inserts the tape for the current day; the backup runs some time during the night.
It seems like we could force this to happen with backup pools, one pool for each weekday night. However, I'm not sure how that would interact with holidays and with the second set of tapes that are kept off-site. Is there a way to tell Bacula to "use whatever tape is in the drive, no matter what"? -- David Lee Lambert Software Developer, Precision Motor Transport Group, LLC work phone 517-349-3011 x223 cell phone 586-873-8813 e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
