[Bacula-users] Complicated New Bacula Setup - advice needed
2011-02-11 13:04:33
I'm not looking for a RTFM response, but I am looking for advice on
my new, much needed Bacula setup.
I have 4 linux servers (we will call them Web, File, Mail, Dev) and
a Windows "server" with a set of 2 rotating usb drives that are
swapped twice a month. This is what I want to accomplish:
Daily:
- Make incremental backups of the 4 linux servers onto "File", with
a full backup on Sun (can be setup in the schedule)
- Copy those backups to the USB drives for a period of 40 days max
- Maybe make incremental or full backups to a tape
Semi-Monthly (15th and 30th/(28th of Feb) of each month):
- Make full backups of the 4 linux servers to the USB drives, kept
indefinitely until I feel enough time has passed to discard them
properly
Notes:
- Ideally the USB drives will get swapped on the same days as the
Semi-Monthly backups are performed, but this may not be the case.
The swap may happen a few days afterwards.
Questions:
- What kind of Pools, Jobs, etc should I implement?
- How will the swapping of the USB drives affect the operation of
the backups/restores if and when they are needed?
- If my File Server crashes, how do I recover the backups OF it?
Since I'm not doing a full system backup, can I setup a temporary
Director on another server to read the backups from the USB drives?
Or will this
Manual entry describe the steps?
Thank you in advance.
