Hello list!
I'm just planning my Bacula environment and I have a couple of questions..
Description of what I want to do:
- Backup multiple servers first to disk (all backups go to the same disk pool),
and then move/copy from disk to tape.
- I have read about Migration support in bacula, so that's one
possibility if "Copy jobs" (in bacula 2.3 beta) doesn't work
well enough yet..
- I want to have just one pool, because making separate pool for each client
would be too much work.. too many clients/servers for that.
- Run backup jobs of multiple servers simultaneously to make the backup window
shorter.
- Keep backups on disk as long as possible, because restoring from disk is
much faster than from tape. And tapes will be in offsite/remote location.
- Take full backups once a week, and incrementals other days of the week.
- Let's say I have for example 1 TB of disk space available for backups, and
I'd like to keep it full of backups.. oldest backups being removed
automatically to make room for new backups.
- It would be nice to have separate file (volume) on disk for each backup job
per server.. "server1-full-date", "server2-full-date", "server1-incr-date"
That's my list of requirements at the moment.. I know there are many ways to
get things done with Bacula, so all tips are welcome :)
Then the questions:
1) Are there any limitations about running multiple jobs at the same time
backing up to the same (disk) pool?
2) Does automatic volume labeling/recycling have problems with multiple jobs
being ran at the same time (simultaneously) ?
3) "Use Volume Once = yes" should make it possible to have a separate volume
per job per server? (like described above)
4) What's the easiest way to "keep the disk full of backups but still have
room for new backups" ?
Thanks for the help!
