Hi Jörg,
I tried the suggested always incremental since it looks very promising. Some config/questions: Storage { Name = vps52371-incr Device = vps52371-incr # bareos-sd Device Media Type = vps52371 Address = backups.hosted-power.com # backup server fqdn > sent to client sd Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1 # required for virtual full # @/etc/bareos/storage-defaults.conf } Storage { Name = vps52371-cons Device = vps52371-cons # bareos-sd Device Media Type = vps52371 Address = backups.hosted-power.com # backup server fqdn > sent to client sd Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1 # required for virtual full # @/etc/bareos/storage-defaults.conf } Pool { Name = vps52371-incr Pool Type = Backup Storage = vps52371-incr LabelFormat = "vol-incr-" Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 # a new file for each backup that is done Recycle = yes # Bareos can automatically recycle Volumes Auto Prune = no # Don’t prune jobs from the volume. Let this be done by Consolidate. Next Pool = vps52371-cons Volume Use Duration = 23h } Pool { Name = vps52371-cons Pool Type = Backup Storage = vps52371-cons LabelFormat = "vol-cons-" Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 # a new file for each backup that is done Recycle = yes # Bareos can automatically recycle Volumes Auto Prune = no # Don’t prune jobs from the volume. Let this be done by Consolidate. Volume Use Duration = 23h } Job { Type = Backup Name = "backup-vps52371" Client = vps52371 Pool = vps52371-incr Full Backup Pool = vps52371-cons FileSet = "windows-all" Schedule = "always-inc-cycle-2" #Defaults JobDefs = "HPJobInc" } JobDefs { Name = "HPJobInc" Type = Backup Level = Full Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr" Accurate=yes Level=Full Messages = Standard Accurate = yes Always Incremental = yes Always Incremental Job Retention = 35 days Always Incremental Max Full Age = 15 days # should always be less then Always Incremental Job Retention > Every 30 days the full backup is also consolidated Always Incremental Keep Number = 7 # Guarantee that at least the specified number of Backup Jobs will persist, even if they are older than "Always Incremental Job Retention". Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5 # Let up to 5 jobs run } Schedule { Name = "always-inc-cycle-1" Run = Incremental mon-sun at 22:15 } Schedule { Name = "always-inc-cycle-2" Run = Incremental mon-sun at 00:15 } Schedule { Name = "always-inc-cycle-3" Run = Incremental mon-sun at 02:15 } Schedule { Name = "always-inc-cycle-4" Run = Incremental mon-sun at 04:15 } I would like to be able to go back 35 days. I think I can only go back 15 days with this setup? Any suggestions for the values inside the jobdef? What about the consolidate en incremental pool used. Will it recycle itself automatically like this? No need to enable prune etc? Thanks a lot for sorting these details out :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
