you can see that last night's backup was written to
*Vol-wilbur-fd-File-20180618-2305-143-197*. the date embedded in the file's
name is 20180618 not 20180925 which was my intention when i added the
following to my bacula-dir.conf file:
Label Format =
"Vol-${Client}-${Pool}-${Year}${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}${Minute:p/2/0/r}-${JobId}-${NumVols}"
i guess to answer another question -- i have other systems that *do not*
use bacula that also do nightly backups. i use a similar naming scheme (of
embedding the date in the file name) for these systems. at a glance, i know
what file i would want to use to do a restore from "last night's" backup,
for example.
obviously, i'm not understanding something about bacula. anyone want to
explain? - donna
