[bareos-users] Re: Consolidate Job produce 0.00B !

2018-02-15 Thread Dan
According to your configuration, the job will consolidate only if there are at 
least 9 incremental backups and at least 2 of them are more than 7 days old.  
If you have just started with this client, the initial incremental backup is 
actually a full and is treated as such.  So in that case there must be at least 
10 incremental backups (9 plus the initial 'full') and at least 3 of them (2 
plus the initial 'full') must be more than 7 days old.

Per your configuration an incremental is not eligible to be consolidated unless 
it is more than 7 days old and there are at least 7 more recent backups.  If 
you have 8 incrementals, each 1 day apart, then only 1 is eligible for 
consolidation, which is meaningless.  So with 9 incrementals there will be 2 
that are eligible for consolidation, which is the smallest meaningful number.

As an aside ... there is no hard and fast rule for how often you need to run a 
Consolidate job.  I schedule mine every 4 days, for a bunch of reasons that are 
specific to my environment.  Running it weekly might be more appropriate for 
other setups.  I can't think of a good reason to run it daily.

I hope that helps.

You should try to post your replies on this site so others can easily follow 
the thread.

The log entries show 'less incrementals than required to consolidate without 
full, not consolidating'.  That would indicate that either the 'Always 
Incremental Job Retention' or 'Always Incremental Keep Number' is not being 
met.  You should check and adjust those values or just let things continue and 
I'd expect the consolidate to start producing results when you've performed 
more backups.

The simplest way to access the logs for the Consolidate job is to simply click 
on the JobID in the web UI.
