Hi All, The Retrospect backup had two sets of "incremental archive" tapes, that ran for a year, set A in the 1st week, set B in the 2nd then set A in the 3rd week etc. Independently to this, at weekends there were a different set of tapes for doing full backups that rotated each week.
I'm struggling with how to recreate this in Bacula. My sticking points are how to not "invalidate" the incremental sets with each other, and how if a restore is needed from the incremental archive, it would only search through the incremental archive, and not point to one of the full backups, would I be able to purge or prine each tape before it was re-used for the full backup, or would I also have to "purge files from job" of the previous job they were used for ? I was thinking that I needed three catalogs, but as the catalog is per client, that wouldn't work. Would having three differently named, but identically configured file sets work ? Or am I going to need to run three instances of the file daemon to get three catalogs, and if so, I'd really appreciate somebody pointing me in the direction of how to do this.
