You are right, there is an example on how to implement this, unfortunally one section above and under the line "concurrent disk jobs". I for myself was not aware that this will helps with the different pools... > > If you have any idea on how and where to document this so people don't > run into that problem all the time, we're really open to suggestions. In the Chapter Always incremental there are an example configuration with three Pools which uses the Storage File1 and File2 (btw: why uses the longterm-pool file1 as Storage?) If the documentation under "Using multiple devices" would keep these Names, that would help a lot. Or if ALL the Disk- related examples would use an continuous Scheme. Like this:
You start with 3 Pools: incremental, differential and full. here you could explain the configuration of the Pools, the Storage, show how to use different devices in one storage to split the pools in separate directories, including the device type and so on. Next you could explain an conventional Setup with the usual incremental, differential and full backups. Next you could explain an Always incremental Backup, using differental for the consolidated and full for the Longterm Backups. That way, you could keep the Storage-definitions. There are only changes to the Pools required, if i got anything right. Finally you could show how to made concurrent Disk Jobs by adding devices to the Incremental and the other example by adding an second incremental pool. At least for me that would help a lot. But, then again, i'm not an Backup nor Bacula-Expert and maybe i'ts just my miserable english :-) Regards, Jan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
