I'm attempting something very simple with Bacula that has not worked  
correctly yet.  I've decided I need to start from scratch.

Here are my goals:


I want to back up to a rotation of 4 1tb hard drives over the course  
of 4 weeks.

I want a full backup every Sunday, and incrementals every day after  
until I change disks on Monday morning.

I want each disk to be re-used when necessary (that is, I don't need  
to keep any backup longer than a month).



What's the best configuration to make this happen with Bacula?  A high- 
level example should be enough to get me started, since I'm familiar  
with the basics of Bacula configuration.


cheers,
Blake
