Hi, sorry for the previous post, but it wasn't complete.
I'd some questions regarding file/job retention periods.
1. The only place where I can find these in catalog is in list clients listing.
Are these in any other place saved?
2. According to the Job/File Retention definition in the Pool resource:
"This directive takes precedence over Client directives of the same name."
I have defined some clients without any job/file retention, and defined 2
different pools with different Retention periods, but the console reports only
the default retention periods ( 60 days for file and 180 days for jobs ). So
I'd say the Job/File Retentions defined in Pool are not taken into account.
My setup:
client {
name = client1
address = ...
password = ....
Catalog = ....
}
JobDefs {
Name = "StdDisk"
Type = Backup
Messages = "Standard"
FileSet = "StdLinux"
Schedule = "StdSchedule"
WriteBootstrap = "/data/bareos/%c.bsr"
}
Job {
Name = "job1"
Pool = "DiskDaily"
Client = "client1"
JobDefs = "StdDisk"
}
Job {
Name = "CopyToTape"
Type = Copy
Messages = "Standard"
Pool = "DiskDaily"
Schedule = "CopyDaily"
Priority = 12
SelectionPattern = "."
SelectionType = PoolUncopiedJobs
}
Schedule {
Name = "StdSchedule"
run = pool="DiskDaily" Incremental at 13:30
}
Schedule {
Name = "CopyDaily"
run = at 13:35
}
Pool {
Name = "DiskDaily"
PoolType = "Backup"
LabelFormat = "Incr-"
LabelType = "bareos"
MaximumVolumes = 100
MaximumVolumeBytes = 5 g
VolumeRetention = 2 weeks
NextPool = "TapeDaily"
Storage = "DiskStorage"
FileRetention = 2 weeks
JobRetention = 2 weeks
}
Pool {
Name = "TapeDaily"
PoolType = "Backup"
LabelType = "bareos"
VolumeRetention = 1 weeks
VolumeUseDuration = 23 hours
Storage = "TapeStorage"
FileRetention = 1 weeks
JobRetention = 1 weeks
}
According to the manual, I'd expect the file retention to be 2 weeks in the
diskdaily pool, and 1 week in the TapeDaily pool, but the retention periods in
list clients are always the default ones.
How could I achieve my goal, to have 2 different pools with different job/file
retention periods? I want to do the backup on a diskdevice first, and then copy
the jobs over to tapes. Also want to keep the backups on disk for 2 weeks, for
a quicker access to restore, just in case...
Thank you.
