Hello all, I am looking for a new strategy for our backups. We use Bareos since 2 years and at first we were doing full backup every month. The company growing fast, we had to change the schedule to full backup every three months with differential every week.
Now we are in another bottleneck. Actually two but they are related. The first one is that we have 3-4 jobs that needs to run for days for a full backup. Bareos is configured to cancel lower level jobs but now each three months, it takes about 15 days to backup everything. During that 15 days, we are missing quite a lot of daily backups and the situation is not going to get better with more and more data to backup. The related issue is that the first differential backups done every week are going fine but the more we approach the new full backup, the more bigger and longer the differential backups. And as I said earlier, it's mostly because of 3-4 jobs. I have tried to add concurrent jobs but since Incr/Diff/Full backups are done on three different Pools, the lower level jobs get stucked anyway because the SD is mounted with a higher level Pool volume. My think-in-progress strategy would be to do those big jobs on another SD running in parallel but I would like to know if you guys have other ideas. Thanks for helping, O. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
