Hi List,

before leaving the office containing the full and incrementals backup ups of
the previous month. The schedule config is as follows :
Schedule {
Name = MultipleRUN
Run = Level=Full Pool=Daily mon-sun at 3:17
Run = Level=Full Pool=Weekly sun at 9:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Weekly mon-sat at 5:05
Run = Level=Full Pool=Monthly 1st fri at 22:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Monthly sun-fri at 2:05

Now the problem; full and incremental backups are not bound to pools, bacula
just picks up the last full backup to compare, regardless of the pool when
preparing for the incremental. When I remove the cartridge out of the
office, there is a chance that the corresponding full backups are still
located in the library, and my montly backup is useless without a recent
full backup.

incrementals derived from the full on the same media
I would do a separate job and schedule for the offline set. This way
the incrementals will work correctly instead of being based on the
daily full backups.
In this case you keep the exact same fileset but have a different job
and a different schedule resource.

Thanks for yor reply John,
I have more than 15 different fd-clients that needs to be backed up, is
it practical to create extra 15 more jobs for monthly offsite backups?

You should be perfectly able to create a valid and complete backup. The drawback is, you need either more than 1 tape drive or sufficient disk storage to buffer it in between I like the idea of copy job the best. Take your full backup and copy it to a special pool, one which is always destined for off site transport. Your original backup remains on site. No chance of a mix up. If you want to try that, I've written stuff about copy jobs: http://www.freebsddiary.org/bacula-disk-to-tape.php http://www.freebsddiary.org/bacula-disk-to-tape-via-sql.php Read them both, all the way through, before trying anything. :) -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org -- Everyone hates slow websites.

[Bacula-users] full and incremental backups
Hi List,
I am scheduling montly backups to move to an off-site location in case
of a disaster. Monthly backup job copies a full backup 1st friday
nightof every month then backups up incremental on the remaining days of
month. What I am trying to achive is to export a tape cartridge 1 st
friday of every month before leaving the office containing the full and
incrementals backup ups of the previous month. The schedule config is as
follows :
Schedule {
Name = MultipleRUN
Run = Level=Full Pool=Daily mon-sun at 3:17
Run = Level=Full Pool=Weekly sun at 9:05
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Weekly mon-sat at 5:05
*Run = Level=Full Pool=Monthly 1st fri at 22:05*
*Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Monthly sun-fri at 2:05*
}
Now the problem; full and incremental backups are not bound to pools,
bacula just picks up the last full backup to compare, regardless of the
pool when preparing for the incremental. When I remove the cartridgeout
of the office, there is a chance that the corresponding full backupsare
still located in the library, and my montly backup is useless without a
recent full backup.
How can i make sure my monthly backup consists of a full backup and
incrementals derived from the full *on the same **media*

Suleyman
