Hi All,

I have a few (I am sure rather trivial by your standards) questions

On bacula-dir.conf I have to setup 7 clients. The standard template I am using 
for each is as follows:

# Client to backup
Client {
  Name = ClientA-fd  #fully qualified domain name of the client
  Address = 10.1.1.1               #IP address of the client
  FDPort = 9102                     #port to listen on - leave default 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog               #leave default
  Password = "blank"          # password for FileDaemon
  File Retention = 30d            # 30 days
  Job Retention = 180d            # six months
  AutoPrune = yes                 # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

# Define Job for ClientA
Job {
 Name = "ClientA"                   # client name - can be anything
 Type = Backup                    
 Level = Incremental                 # bacula will do full backup if it cannot 
find a record
 Client = ClientA-fd # fqdn of client with -fd suffix
 FileSet = "ClientA Set"            # unique FileSet name - use "clientName 
set" convention
 Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"          
 Storage = Tape
 Messages = Standard
 Pool = Week1
 Write Bootstrap = "/var/bacula/ClientAJob.bsr"
}


# List of clientA files to be backed up
FileSet {
 Name = "ClientA Set"
 Include {
  Options {
   Signature = MD5
  }
 
 # list of files to be included in backup - 'File =' for each path. on linux 
you can use relative paths
 File = "c:\backups"               # notice the "" convention - this is for 
windows dirs
 }
 
 # list of files to be EXCLUDED
 Exclude {
  File = /data/build
 }
}

1- Client {} 
- Does the Port have to be unique per client? I am assuming yes (default is 
9012)
- File/Job retention - will this affect my ability to restore data?

2- Job {}
I have a WeeklyCycle schedule setup with 6 pools (week 1-5 and a Scratch pool)
- Under Job, for each client the Pool = week1. Does this mean backups will only 
go to tapes under week1, should this be scratch or something else?

I also need your opinion on RunAfterJob - is it advisable to unmount/eject the 
tape after it has completed a job? I am currently setting up RunAfterJob script 
to email me the status of the job i.e. completed/failed

many thanks
