Hi,
I have two external backup drives that I want to incorporate using Bacula, but
have some questions:
1) When making a Full backup, does this replace the expired backup or will this
create a new Volume on the drive?
2) Can you force the Full backup to expire on a weekend?
3) Will auto-pruning prune the oldest incremental?
4) I read that having many incremental backups, like I plan on having will make
the restoring of files slow compared to a diff, can someone confirm this?
Here is my planed setup:
Source: ~460 GB
(M-F) Daily Changes: ~0.5-2 GB
Backup Drive #1 size: 1 TB
Backup Drive #2 size: 1 TB
Schedule:
Week #1
Drive #1, run Full Backup (Expire in 3 months) on a weekend
Drive #1, run daily Incremental backup M-F for Week
Week #2
Drive #2, run Full Backup (Expire in 3 months) on a weekend
Take Drive #1 home on Monday
Drive #2, run daily Incremental backup M-F for Week
Week #3
Take Drive #2 home on Monday
Drive #1, run daily Incremental backup M-F for Week
Week #4
Take Drive #1 home on Monday
Drive #2, run daily Incremental backup M-F for Week
.
.
.
The purpose of the two drives is to have at least one week of data off-site,
plus weeks worth of incrementals.
Thanks,
