Could you check out my configuration?
I do not normally do that since it's consultancy and you will probably wont create more synapses. =)
Anyway it goes:
I've configured De-duplication on a Bacula 7.0.5.9 - CentOS 7 ( client-fd is version 5.2 - Windows 8.1 Pro x64 ) with the following properties:
A specific Pool for the base volumes:
Pool {
Name = BaseJobs
Pool Type = Backup
Label Format = "${Level}-${Job}-${Day}-${Month}-${Year}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}${Minute:p/2/0/r}${Second:p/2/0/r}"
Use Volume _Once_ = yes
}
The specific FileSet for the base job:
FileSet {
Name = "BaseFileSet_Windows8.1"
Enable VSS = yes
Include {
Options {
You must have at the fileset options:
BaseJob = pmugcs5
Accurate = mcs
Verify = pin5 signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
}
File = C:/Windows/
}
}
The base job:
Job {
Name = "BaseJob_Windows8.1"
Type = Backup
Level = Base
Client = tom-helpdesk-fd
FileSet = BaseFileSet_Windows8.1
Pool = BaseJobs
Storage = ns-bacula-sd
Messages = Standard
}
The JobDefs for the full backup job:
JobDefs {
Name = "Windows_Backup"
Type = Backup
Level = Full
FileSet = "Windows FileSet"
Messages = Standard
SpoolAttributes = yes
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/var/spool/bacula/%c.bsr"
Storage = ns-bacula-sd
}
The full backup job:
Job {
Name = "FrankPC-Backup"
JobDefs = "Windows_Backup"
You must have the directive here:
Base = "BaseJob_Windows8.1"
To the magic happen you must compare the base job to the job itself, between commas:
Base ="FrankPC-Backup", "BaseJob_Windows8.1"
Client = tom-helpdesk-fd
Schedule = "FrankPC_Backup"
Pool = RegularBackups
}
The client
Client {
Name = tom-helpdesk-fd
Address = 10.13.37.103
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "~XXXXXXX" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 60 days # 60 days
Job Retention = 6 months # six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
