Hi guys,
So I'm starting from scratch again with my bacula config. I thought I'd
try to get some pointers before I dive in head first again.
My setup consists of multiple virtual machines. Some over GigE, some
over an ADSL connection (6000/800kbit). My aim is to transfer as little
as possible over the ADSL connection - but enough to be able to restore
if required.
I would like to use some local disk storage (say 40Gb), and have the
rest go to a removable external eSATA drive. I'm thinking this could
mainly be done via job migration when the internal storage starts to get
full.
As some insight, my current setup has ~167 daily incremental backups and
has used under 11Gb of space on the 'on disk' volumes. The amount of
data changed per day isn't really huge.
Some more specific questions:
1) I want to try and avoid vchanger and use something that can use the
eSATA drive properly - grow the number of volumes automatically to fill
the entire eSATA drive. Bonus points for being able to just plug in a
new eSATA drive and expand further.
2) From my previous posts, I heard that daily incrementals forever may
be a bad idea - the whole job based backup vs the file based backup that
I'm used to with TSM. What would be the suggested route for backups
being done? I obviously don't want to do Full backups over the ADSL
connection every week / month.
3) I'm starting from scratch with Bacula v7 and all systems are a
mixture of RHEL6 and Fedora 20. Are there any gotchas I should be aware
of straight up?
4) Any general comments? :)
