I am planning an enterprise-level network backup solution with the following requirements/restrictions:
-Local and remote servers with heterogenous operating systems (Linux,Windows)
-Backup policy that dictates backup data availability monthly for a year cycle, weekly for a month cycle and daily for a week cycle. -No tape device availability, only finite amount of disk storage.
I am using Bacula, currently at testing environment, to implement the above. The setup that i am using is the following:
-Full backup every month, differential every week and incremental daily at dedicated volumes for each client and each backup type. The volumes produced according to this scheme: Client1-Full-Vol, Client3-Diff-Vol etc.
-Since volume recycling is essential due to finite disk space, the respective rules have been applied to the corresponding Pools. There are N Pools = clients x backup type(3 types)
My question is if this setup of backup ,for the given requirements, is too complicated involving too many volumes and pools.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks
