[Bacula-users] Volume Retention / Use Duration
2011-03-30 08:32:49
Hi folks,
I'm trying to wrap my head around the following setup:
- For a couple of clients / jobs, we'd like to store two full backups
on disk (weekly full, daily incremental)
- We'd also like to keep 14 incrementals around just in case we need
to do a point in time recovery.
The incremental part seems rather easy, I've defined a separate pool
like so (Bacula 5.0.2 on centos compiled from source):
Pool {
Name = Online_Incremental
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 14 days
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 14
Volume Use Duration = 1 day
Label Format ="Incr-"
}
So we'd end up with a maximum of 14 volumes, using a new volume for
incrementals each day, recycling the old ones as they expire.
Now I was wondering how to go about the Full Pool definition. I'd like
to do full backups on the same day for all clients / jobs, so I've
come up with something like this:
Pool {
Name = Online_Full
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 14 days
Volume Use Duration = 6 days
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 3
Label Format ="Full-"
}
But I'm unsure about the "use duration". Is there a better way to
implement the above requirements?
Thanks in advance for your help & comments,
Uwe
