Hi, for question #2: Yes you have to create different pool, the firts reason is that usually incremental bck lives less than a Full backup, the duration is into the Pool information
So in my case I have - p-daily INCREMENTAL with 6 volumes (duration 7 days) - p-weekly DIFFERENTIAL with 4 volumes (duration 1 month) - p-monthly FULL with 6 volumes (duration 6 month) In this way I'm able to cover 6 month Hope to be usefull 2015-11-03 16:24 GMT+01:00 Wesley Render <wren...@otherdata.com>: > > I have recently started using Bacula and have a couple of questions > regarding volume pools.
