Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Verify Jobs

Here is an example where the Verify job uses the same schedule but different Messages than standard. Pool, Storage, and Schedule entries are up to you and have not been included; they are not remarkable. The important thing to note is that the Verify will perform a verify of the last backup of the job specified in the "VerifyJob" line. Let me know if you have any questions.

# Captures
Job {
Name = "Captures"
Schedule = "SaturdayEvening"
Type = Backup
Client = captures
Level = Full
Storage = LTO-3
FileSet = "Captures"
Messages = Standard
Pool = Captures
Write Bootstrap = "/var/spool/bacula/bootstrap/%c-%n-%i.bsr"
Priority = 40       # Low priority; this job can take a while to get done.
ClientRunBeforeJob = "/usr/local/bin/captures_stage"
}

# Verify
# The verifies run at a lower priority compared to the backup job.
Job {
Name = "CapturesVerify"
VerifyJob = "Captures"
Schedule = "SaturdayEvening"
Type = Verify
Client = captures
Level = VolumeToCatalog
Storage = LTO-3
Accurate = yes
FileSet = "Captures"
Messages = "Verify_Captures"
Pool = Captures
Write Bootstrap = "/var/spool/bacula/bootstrap/%c-%n-%i.bsr"
Priority = 41       # Low priority; this job can take a while to get done.
ClientRunAfterJob = "/usr/local/bin/captures_post_verify %c-%n-%i"
}

#... FileSet ......................................................................................
FileSet {
Name = "Captures"
Include {
    File = /mnt/captures/staging
    Options {
      signature = MD5
      noatime = yes
      xattrsupport = yes
      One FS = yes
    }
}
}

# The Client name "captures" allows us to move this job from host to host.
Client {
Name = captures
Address = hostname.example.com
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "topseekrit"         # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 2 months
Job Retention = 2 months
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

# Message delivery for verify messages.
Messages {
Name = Verify_Captures
mailcommand = "/usr/local/bin/my_smtp -h mailhub -f \"\(Bacula\) \<backup AT example DOT com\>\" -s \"Bacula: %t %e of %c %l\" %r"
operatorcommand = "/usr/local/bin/my_smtp -h mailhub -f \"\(Bacula\) \<backup AT example DOT com\>\" -s \"Bacula: Intervention needed for %j\" %r"
mail = it AT example DOT com = all, !skipped
operator = it AT example DOT com = mount
append = "/var/log/bacula/verify.log" = all, !skipped
catalog = all, !skipped, !saved
}

Bacula manual is not so clear about Verify Jobs.

What is the best practice to implement verify jobs for any backup job ?

Can somebody show some example?
