I am trying to use a schedule to alternate between two different hard
disks, and it doesn't behave as expected. I'm using bacula 2.4.2. I'd
appreciate some help debugging my schedule. Here is the idea:
- On the first through the 15th of the month, use disk 1. On the 16th
through 31st, use disk 2.
- A full backup every time I switch from one to the other disk
- A Diff backup in the middle of the cycle, on the 7th and 22nd.
- No backup the day after a full or differential backup (some of these
backup jobs are large and a full backup may take more than a day to
complete).
I am using three pools for each hard disk, one for Full, one for
Differential and one for Incremental backups. Full-1-Pool, Diff-1-Pool
and Inc-1-Pool are on disk 1, Full-2-Pool, Diff-2-Pool, Inc-2-Pool are
on disk 2.
Based on this, today, on the 1st of December, the schedule should have
performed a full backup into Full-1-Pool. But instead, it performed an
incremental backup into Inc-1-Pool.
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle1"
Run = Level=Full FullPool=Full-1-Pool DifferentialPool=Diff-1-Pool
IncrementalPool=Inc-1-Pool on 1 at 23:05
Run = Level=Full FullPool=Full-2-Pool DifferentialPool=Diff-2-Pool
IncrementalPool=Inc-2-Pool on 16 at 23:05
Run = Level=Differential FullPool=Full-1-Pool
DifferentialPool=Diff-1-Pool IncrementalPool=Inc-1-Pool on 7 at 23:05
Run = Level=Differential FullPool=Full-2-Pool
DifferentialPool=Diff-2-Pool IncrementalPool=Inc-2-Pool on 22 at 23:05
Run = Level=Incremental FullPool=Full-1-Pool
DifferentialPool=Diff-1-Pool IncrementalPool=Inc-1-Pool on 3-6,9-14 at 23:05
Run = Level=Incremental FullPool=Full-2-Pool
DifferentialPool=Diff-2-Pool IncrementalPool=Inc-2-Pool on 18-21,24-31
at 23:05
