Hello Dear Bareos users!
I'm having some problems with setting up an always incremental job. This
is a backup from a "remote" machine, that is a machine that is not on my
LAN, so transfers are pretty slow.
Here are some relevant part of my config:
Pools:
This is where the incremental backups are supposed to go. The
"ministern-bak" fileset is about 150G in total, but files will be added
at maybe maximum 200 Mb per backup cycle. So the full backup will not
fit in this storage.
Pool {
Name = ministern-bak-incr
Description = "Pool for incremental backups of /backup from ministern"
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = z2x1tb_0
LabelFormat = ministern-bak-incr
Maximum volume bytes = 10G
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
AutoPrune = no
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 8
Volume Retention = 40 days
Next Pool = ministern-bak-cons
}
This is where the consolidated jobs will reside.
Pool {
Name = ministern-bak-cons
Description = "Pool for full backups of /backup from ministern"
Storage = z6x3tb_0
LabelFormat = ministern-cons
Maximum volume bytes = 300G
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
AutoPrune = no
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 2
Next Pool = offsite
}
Jobs:
Job {
Name = "ministern-bak"
Client = "ministern-fd"
Enabled = yes
Type = Backup
Accurate = yes
Always Incremental = yes
Pool = ministern-bak-incr
Schedule = ministern-bak-sched
File Set = ministern-bak
Messages = Standard
}
Job {
Name = "ministern-cons"
Schedule = ministern-cons-sched
Client = "dummy"
FileSet = "dummy"
Messages = Standard
Pool = ministern-bak-cons
Enabled = yes
Type = Consolidate
Accurate = yes
}
Now, in order to get this started I manually ran the job "ministern-bak"
bot overrode the level and pool with "Full" and "ministern-cons", to get
a full backup in miistern-cons to start from (this took about 35 hours
to finish).
Now the problem is that when I estimate "ministern-bak" now, Bareos
wants to get all 150Gbs again, so it doesn't take the full backup that
exists into account. Since that full backup was taken I have reinstalled
the FD on ministern, but that shouldn't matter, right?
I'm willing to start over again, but I want to understand which is the
correct way to start an always incremental backup chain. Is running:
*run job=ministern-bak level=Full pool=ministern-cons
the right way? How else do I do it? Again, the reason to override the
pool is that the default pool for the "ministern-bak" job does not have
enough room for a full backup. Is this case supported?
And is there a way to investigate why Bareos doesn't take the existing
full backup into consideration?
Regards,
-- Joakim
