[Bacula-users] copy a base job to tape

2011-09-28 Thread Palmer, David W.
Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to copy a base job to tape incase say our SAN 
that we backup to dies. Or if I do a copy of full back up that has a base job 
defined will it copy just the information that changed or will it copy a full 
backup of the data?

Thanks

David

[Bacula-users] Need Some Help with Backup Strategy

2011-09-27 Thread Palmer, David W.
Hello,

I need some input on my backup strategy. Here is my setup:

1 -  LTO3  24 slot autochanger with one drive.

1 -  6.5 TB Openfiler SAN

1 - 17 TB Openfiler SAN

30 Servers with around 8 TB of Data.

I am trying to figure out a backup schedule that will allow all the data to be 
backed up during the open backup windows as well as allow for long term 
retention. Here is my current idea:

Pools:
Monthly Pool 
-Retention 2 months
-Storage is the 17TB San

Daily Pool
- 1 month retention
- Storage is the 6.5 TB San

Monthly Archive Pool 
 - 1 Year Retention
- Autochanger for storage

Yearly Archive
- 7 Year retention
- Autochanger for storage



Schedule:

1st Saturday of the month Monthly full backup are made to Monthly Pool

Daily incremental occur every day after Monthly Full Backup to Daily 
Pool

3rd Sunday previous monthly backup is copied to Monthly Archive

Yearly Archive is run at the end of December 


Does this seem like a good plan? Should I be running weekly fulls or does the 
incremental disk based backup (which is located in another building than server 
room) work?

Thanks,

David
