I think you are right. Volumes on HDD 1 will be in one pool and volumes on HDD 2 in another. For each client, there will be a full backup in both pools created by manually running level=full jobs. Th
Thanks for this as it is exactly what I want to do too (except the annual full BUP) I am a little confused about setting up the jobs. If there are 2 jobs per client, how do they write tothe pools ful
The reason for two jobs per client is to use different pools and schedules on odd weeks than on even weeks. In the below, notice that USB drive 1 is to be somehow mounted at /mnt/usbdrive1 and drive

exactly! Interesting idea, maybe I will use it in the future hmmm, in the details i'm using 2 volumes in each pool. So I'm using automatic recycling. moreover I have explicitly specified to run full

It is enough to have 1 job for the catalog, but you will have to use different schedule, which would specify to backup the catalog on even pool on even weeks and odd pool on odd weeks. -- Let Crysta
Yes. The catalog backups are always full backups, so they just need to be in both pools. The tricky part is that the catalog backup be the last job on a drive when that drive is unmounted. But that c

Also with a catalog backup I highly recommend you keep the bootstrap file. Without that restoring the last catalog backup on the volume may be difficult. At least it was for me the 1 time (in over 5
I have it working but one last (hopefully) question. Do I need 2 restore jobs, one for each HDD. If not how do I define the "storage =" argument? I could use HHD1 or HDD 2, but I suspect I need one j
Shouldn't be necessary. See the chapter on the Restore Command in the docs at http://www.bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/concepts/concepts/Restore_Command.html#RestoreChapter -- Let Crystal Reports handl

You could probably do this with 4 pools. Each drive would contain volumes in two pools, one for full backups and one for incremental backups. For each client there would be two jobs, one backing up t

Hello, I'm doing a similar backup but with 3 disks : - 2 disks (A and B) connected as RAID. - a third disk. When I want to change a disk, I replace B with C and I rebuild the RAID. :) I'm using mdadm

Hi John, That's exactly what I want to avoid. I would like to: Do a full backup twice (once per HDD) per year and daily increment otherwise. In the same time I want to be able to do a full restore fr

I don't think that will do what you want. The reason for 4 pools is to keep the incrementals on drive 1 relative to the fulls on drive 1, and the incrementals on drive 2 relative to the fulls on driv
