Hello,

I need to backup a huge file, it currently is 700MB but it's conceivable
that it'll grow beyond the 1GB. Normally I just copy this file to
another location (for the curious, it's the database of a Zope instance,
a ZODB file).
This file changes little from day to day, but I understand Bacula can't
do inside-the-file subdivision for incremental backups, am I right?
Anyway, it doesn't matter. What I want to do is a full backup daily and
keep two of them and a full backup weekly and also keep two of them. So
at any given time I can get yesterday, the day before yesterday, a week
ago and two weeks ago. Would you think that's a good idea?
I suppose I should make two schedules, daily and weekly. But which
numbers should I have on the pools to achieve this? Two volumes of
1.5GB? Any hints of guidance is welcome, I'm not a sysadmin and my
experience with Bacula is very limited.

Thank you.
