But today we have a big problem, we didn't anticipate a growing like that, on our FS we are at 97% of space used. It's very problematic. And since 1 week I'm working on free more space but it's very complicated with Bacula.
If you are doing a backup to disk (filesystem) then you can simply delete oldest/not required volume in bacula and rm it from filesystem.
I've search every where but I didn't find any exploitable answers so I'm asking here.
Do you have a prefered method to do the following task :
Purge then Prune (I'm on auto-prune) then Truncate a volume for a client ?
There are "best practice" for optimal volume management when you use filesystem based volumes:
- use 1 job / volume
- use action on purge = truncate
- adjust your retention policy and backup schedule (more Incr, less Full)
- use compression on client if you have enough computing power
- use filesystem level compression on storage daemon
