Hi, you may also want to look at the MaxFullInterval option which allows one to specify the max number of days between FULLs for a job. hope this helps, --tom -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Hi folks,
will the following schedule accomplish what we expect? ;-)
Schedule {
Name = "first_saturday_in_mar_jun_sep_dec"
Run = Level=Full 1st Sat Mar Jun Sep Dec at 00:00
Run = Level=Incremental 2nd Sat at 00:00
}
- full backups on the 1st Saturday in mar, jun, sep and dec.
- incrementals on the 2nd Saturday of each month
Thanks in advance for your comments,
Uwe

Hi guys, Quick scheduling question. I want to run Fulls 1st of every 3rd month and Incrementals on 2nd-31st. I think the incremental part is easy, but does anyone know of a good way to specify the Fulls? Looking for something to do the following: FULL Jan1, Apr1, July1, Oct1, etc incrementals every 2-31sth day Can I do comma separated? Something like: Run = Level=Full on 1, 4, 7, etc at 2:05 I'm sure someone has a schedule like this somewhere. ;) Any help would be appreciated. -Ronan -- Come build with us!

Bacula schedules are not exclusive, if you define a Full on the 1st and
a Differential on fridays, then you will get a Full scheduled on firday
the first at 21:05 and a differential at 23:05. In other words, it does
what you tell it to do.
If you want a Schedule like that, i would reread the schedule section, i
think it has a couple of good examples, i believe you can schedule
things on the "first friday" and such. You could also try the new
options for only scheduling one job at a time (which dont quite work
right for me so far) in order to cancel the second scheduled job (your
Diff) if your first (your Full) is already scheduled.
I think your answer would be in
http://bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00145
and
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/New_Features.html#SECTION003103000
or scripting your own solution to check for a running Full via a
RunBefore script.

[Bacula-users] Schedule question
Hello all,
We currently use amanda, and I've been trying out bacula in a lab
environment. The ultimate goal will be to retain the same backup
policy as we currently have, but using bacula (obviously)
In reading the docs for Scheduling, I'm not clear on a couple of
things. Would someone take the time to help me understand:
First, our current policy:
First day of the month, all clients get a Full backup.
Every Friday, all clients get a Differential backup.
Any day not mentioned above, every client gets an Incremental backup.
To that end, I've created this:
Schedule {
Name = "MonthlyCycle"
Run = Full on 1 at 21:05
Run = Differential on fri at 23:05
Run = Incremental sat-thu at 23:05
}
In theory, that seems like it should do what I'm wanting.
In practice, it seems that no matter what I set the system clock to, I
get an incremental backup. (aside from the first run, which is a full
obviously)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
It seems to me that if multiple levels match a gven day, the "highest
level" backup should be performed. for example, if the 1st is also a
friday, that would match both a full, and a diff. Seems like the
"full" should win. However, in manually setting the date on the
director machine (and for good measure, restarting all
bacula-dir/bacula-sd/bacula-fd) it seems that the opposite is true.
I can't find any clarification in the docs, and would love to have this
explained (or a pointer to docs I've missed?)
Additionally, if I'm doing something obviously stupid.. a "Schedule"
directive that would accomplish my above goals would be much
appreciated. I can analyze that, and see what I did wrong.
Thanks in advance for takig the time to read this,
Jeff Palmer
