My Pool Resource: # File Pool definition Pool { Name = File Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 60 days # one year Maximum Volume Bytes = 1000G # Limit Volume size to something reasonable Label Format = "${FileSet}_${Level}_${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
}
Note: I am not using tapes, this is an offsite backup server
writing to local hard disks. The directory which it uses to put the
volumes should look like this as an example: total 41675520 -rw-r----- 1 bacula tape xxxxxxxxxxxx Dec xx xx:xx WEB_FULL_2012_12_16
-rw-r----- 1 bacula tape xxxxxxxxxxxx Dec xx xx:xx WEB_INCREMENTAL_2012_12_17 -rw-r----- 1 bacula tape xxxxxxxxxxxx Dec xx xx:xx WEB_INCREMENTAL_2012_12_18 -rw-r----- 1 bacula tape xxxxxxxxxxxx Dec xx xx:xx WEB_INCREMENTAL_2012_12_19
... and so on
I'm trying to test bacula at the
moment. So in the console I am doing a "run" command and specifying the
job and pool, but it just hangs and never does anything. The error I get
is from the storage daemon.
ERROR: 17-Dec 16:18 backup-sd JobId 26: Job BackupCatalog.2012-12-17_16.18.45_04 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
When
I actually do "label" command in console and give it a name then the
job completes but I DONT WANT TO DO THIS. This should be automatic and
do the labeling as I specified label format definitive. If I have to
manually label a volume which will run every night (incrementals) then
this is a useless program but im sure there must be a way to do this automatic.
UPDATE:
I realized that the label format does not work syntax wise. I would
like bacula to use a different volume each day basically. And recycle
them in the beginning of the week so for example:
VOL_SUNDAY_FULL VOL_MONDAY_INC VOL_TUESDAY_INC
and so on,
and I then when a new week starts it should recycle. Also I'm backing up
3 different clients and I want them to use their own volumes but when I
make the volumes they all use the same one until it fills up... this is
bad.
I'd appreciate any help I can get. Hopefully you can understand what
I'm looking for. I've looked everywhere I can but can't seem to find any
solutions for my issue. I apologize if you get multiple copies of this email but I just subscribed to the list and re-sent out the email so it would go through.
Thanks,
