It's not complicated, some efforts has to be made to understand the system, and translate it to configuration. The system is so flexible, that yes you have to decide what you want to do. A typical installation for me, will be. Managing media Have a full pool, and full storage, retention will be 2 months. Have a Inc pool, and Inc storage, retention 2 months. We will only do incremental, accurate backup and full on 1st sunday. I always used a spool media I define a schedule : Daily I define a JobDefs : containing Pools definition, Storage definition, pre-post execution, Fileset, and the Schedule. For any client I define a job with client name, joddefs. And because the job contain the jobdef, which contain the schedule all my clients will start their backup at the same time. But there's several ways of achieving the same global result. All my client run as the same time. In another installation, where everything as to be split, we have one pool, one media type, one storage per client and again a global schedule for all. etc... ;-) Also you have the configure command in bconsole http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#ConfigurationIncludeDirectory -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux 4.10.13-1-default x86_64 GNU/Linux, nvidia: 375.66 Qt: 5.7.1, KDE Frameworks: 5.33.0, Plasma: 5.9.5, kmail2 5.5.0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
