I think I have solved/worked around this using a "Dummy" Pool like this:
Pool {
Name = "ArchivePool"
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = "DLT-Tape II"
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes # Use oldest Volume
Volume Retention = 5 Years #
Label Format = "Archive-"
# Maximum Volumes = 15 # 10 Volumes
}
Pool {
Name = "ArchiveDummyPool"
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = FileStorageDev7"
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes # Use oldest Volume
Volume Retention = 1 week
NextPool= ArchivePool
Label Format = "Dummy-"
# Maximum Volumes = 15 # 10 Volumes
}
The Dummy pool has a File Storage device that points to the same
directory the file volumes are stored in.
And then I use this "archive" job:
Job {
Name = "Archive_epia"
Enabled = Yes
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Level=VirtualFull
Pool=ArchiveDummyPool
Client = "epia-fd"
FileSet = "epia-fs"
Write Bootstrap = "/home/bacula/file-dev/epia.bsr"
}
Now I just have to figure out how to prevent restore from taking the
ArchivePool into account for "standard" restores (because that would be
slow)
