Re: [Bacula-users] weekly backup on 2 external hard disks

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 to
drive 1 using pools "full1" and "incremental1" and another backing up to
drive 2 using pools "full2" and "incremental2". The two jobs for each
client would use two different schedules so that the jobs run on
opposite weeks. A schedule for odd weeks of the month might use
something like Run = Level=Incremental 1st,3rd,5th sun-sat at 21:00.
Only schedule the daily incrementals, and then run the yearly full
backups manually.
Good idea, that's exactly what I was looking for. I have implemented it
as You have suggested. I will see if it will work.
I have created only 2 pools - full and increments are going to a one
pool.
EvenPool & OddPool
A year sounds like a long time between full backups. With 180 odd
incrementals for each client you'll likely run out of disk space on a
USB drive and defeat the purpose. With differential backups run every
now and then, you could delete the no longer needed incrementals and
consolidate space.
The disks are real 3,5" 0,5 TB, so it won't get full so easy. The USB
is used only for connecting the HDDs to a SD server.
As long as I have 2 equal HDDs, I think the increments are at safe
place - Data are on 3 places (original, even backup and odd backup).
