I've got the always incremental backup strategy working. It backs up to
the pool AI-Incremental and then the consolidate job goes to
AI-Consolidate.
Now I would like to add virtual full backup for offsite. Below is what I
have for configuration. I'm unsure about the setting of the pool in the
virtual full job defs and the next pool for the virtual full.
Yes, you want the name of your consolidated pool in the job defs for your
offsite jobs. I also set Full Backup Pool and Incremental Backup Pool, along
with Next Pool.
The Next Pool is, I believe, the key for the virtual full jobs to work, that
is where the virtual job is written. I think, but am not sure, that setting
the Full and Incremental pools tells the virtual job where to get the source
backups.
Here is my setup for doing virtual full backups to tape from my on-disk always
incrementals. We also have a host named gemini, so I'll include that as
samples. (I wonder if using star names is the most popular naming scheme with
computer geeks.)
Note that our pool names don't follow the samples in the docs:
* "consolidated" instead of "AI-Consolidated"
* "always-incr" instead of "AI-Incremental"
job {
name = "gemini-offsite"
client = "gemini"
job defs = "ai-offsite"
}
job defs {
name = "ai-offsite"
type = backup
level = virtual full
schedule = "offsite"
# Gotta turn "virtual full" jobs into Archive jobs so we don't try to use
# the backup for the next "virtual full" job.
run script {
console = "update jobid=%i jobtype=A"
runs when = After
runs on client = No
}
file set = "standard"
accurate = yes
messages = "standard"
write bootstrap = "/var/db/bareos/bootstrap/%c.bsr"
pool = "consolidated"
full backup pool = "consolidated"
incremental backup pool = "always-incr"
spool data = yes
spool attributes = yes
next pool = "offsite"
}
pool {
# No "Label Format" disables automatic volume labeling
name = offsite
pool type = Backup # Sigh, case sensitive
storage = lto6-1
file retention = 30 days
job retention = 90 days
volume retention = 90 days
maximum volume bytes = 2500 GB
volume use duration = 48 hours
recycle oldest volume = yes
}
storage {
name = lto6-1
address = bareos-sd.meridian-enviro.com
password = "******"
device = lto6-1
maximum concurrent jobs = 1
media type = "lto-6"
}
Hope this helps. When you get it working I think you'll really like the setup.
