I only use clients on Windows so have never ran the director or storage on
Windows.
By tape drive working I’m assuming you mean you used btape and ran the tests
included with it? If so you should have the approrate ’storage’ config and the
storage director working. If not here is my config for my stand alone tape
drive, highly recomend use spool if your spool location in your server is fast
enough to avoid drive start / stops, for LTO8 that probably means something
that can sustain 200MB/s+ preferablly closer to 500MB/s but all LTO8 drive
have speed matching. Spooling will avoid a lot of start/stops.
# goes in bareos-sd.conf
Device {
Name = T-LTO4
Autochanger = no
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO4
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Device Type = Tape
Maximum File Size = 20000000000 # 20 GB
Spool Directory = /mnt/spool/Q-LTO4
Maximum Job Spool Size = 80000000000
Maximum Spool Size = 160000000000
Drive Crypto Enabled = Yes
Query Crypto Status = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
}
# storage config goes in the director config and says how to talk to the
devices on the storage deamon
Storage {
Name = T-LTO4
Address = myth
Password = “<snip>"
Device = T-LTO4
Media Type = LTO4
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
Auto Changer = no
}
# pool config goes in director config and says how to treat volumes. You don’t
need “next pool” that’s used for migraiton /copy jobs. For your use case you
probably want to adjust Volume Use Duraction so the next week the system asks
for a new volume (tape) so your not stacking jobs across multiple weeks on one
tape. This is all your volume config also. Notice how it attached the volumes
in this “pool” to the storage deff above which tells how to connect to teh
stroage server etc.
Pool {
Name = LTO4
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no # Bareos can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Job Retention = 12 months
Volume Retention = 12 months
Volume Use Duration = 3 weeks
Next Pool = Offsite # consolidated jobs go to this pool
Storage = T-LTO4
}
Now because you only want a full once a week, and nothing more involved you
would control that with a Schedule. In your case it would look like
Schedule {
Name = "ServerCycle"
Description = "For servers and other over night backups"
Run = Full sun at 1:05
#Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 23:05
#Run = Incremental Jan-Dec sun-sat at 2:05
}
You can use the same schedule with multiple jobs, given everything I’m doing
here only runs one job at a time, all 3 servers will kick off at the same time,
but 2 will wait till the first one finishes, next and next etc. So it’s ok to
reuse the same schedule for multiple jobs.
Higly recomend you read the documentation closely, and’t don’t jump right into
modifying to match what I pasted here, make sure you client/dir/storage can all
talk to each other
status client
status dir
status storage
Once they can all talk to each other, then setup the storage make sure it shows
everything correctly, then start modying filesets/jobs/schedules, lastly mess
with volume settings, because that’s the thing I personally got hung up on the
most often.
