I have implemented a backup that does Full, Differential, and Incremental backups to tape, and all that is working.
However, I would like to always keep a Full Backup of each client around on disk. And not just the last Full backup, but a VirtualFull that gets updated with every Differential and Incremental backup as well. I looked at copy jobs, but if I understand this correctly, I can't copy an Incremental to a VirtualFull backup? I know I could backup each client twice a day, once to tape with Full/Incr/Diff and once to disk with VirtualFull, but that seems like a waste. One option that I can see is to forgo the idea of VirtualFull and have Copy jobs that copy each Full/Diff/Incr backup and set retention policies to be short enough to only keep the last Full + any Incr/Diff backups since then around. Is that the proper way, or is there some mechanism? (Basically, trying to do hot and cold backups) Thanks, Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
