[Bacula-users] Configuration help required

Hey folks!

I am trying to create a backup schema here. I am using FreeBSD withexternal RAID'ed harddisks to backup to (file backup). The scheduleshould be like this:


Monthly backup.

The weekly backup does full backups first monday a month at 06:00. Iwant to have 12 past backups available. This should be pool "monthly"with maximum of 12 files and a 365 retention period, after which the"volumes" get recycled and overwritten.


Daily backup.

I want daily incremental backups everyday at 6:00 pm that increment fromthe latest monthly backup volume. This should be pool "daily" with amaximum of 31 files and a retention period of 31 days.


Hourly backup.

I want differential backups every hour that increment from the latestdaily backup. 24 max files.

So when I want to restore a full backup, the latest monthly backup istaken, in addition to the latest daily backup and the currentbackup-of-the-hour. What I explicitly do NOT want is full backups inevery pool. That is, only want full backups in monthly, incrementals indaily and differential in hourlies.



Here is my currently (obviously not working) bacula-dir file.

The system worked with my old method of having one pool only (with 90files max, 90 days retention, full backup on monday and every dayincremental). So I am excluding all other files except the director one.
