Hi Blake, I have a simular setup, with 3 TBs and will soon have a 4th when Frys has their $99 sale again. :) Anyways, what I do is break each disk into its own pool and then use the scheduler to split jobs equally among each drive. You may not need to do that, I just like to have the data spread over the drives equally. With this method I have 3 (soon to be 4) scedules that are split among 20ish jobs, like I said you probably don't need to do that if you're not worried about spreading data over your drives. Here's a sample schedule: Schedule {And a Pool Definition: Pool {For sure keep your volume size about10-15% of your HD size. Unless you're using the full 1TB with a backup, I'd go for archiving data too rather then 1 month rotate. I'm able to store almost 6 months worth of archives (compressed) with my current setup.

I've decided I need to start from scratch.Here are my goals: I want to back up to a rotation of 4 1tb hard drives over the course of 4 weeks. I want a full backup every Sunday, and incrementals every day after until I change disks on Monday morning. I want each disk to be re-used when necessary (that is, I don't need to keep any backup longer than a month). What's the best configuration to make this happen with Bacula? A high- level example should be enough to get me started, since I'm familiar with the basics of Bacula configuration. cheers, Blake BLAKE IRVIN Systems Administrator ir...@vivisimo.com Vivisimo [Search Done Right™] 1710 Murray Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15217 USA tel: +1.412.422.2499 x153 fax: +1.412.422.2495 vivisimo.com clusty.com "to understand systems, you must understand their pathologies -- systems are most instructive when they fail." - Bryan Cantrill, 18 July, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
