Hello guys:
I'm running Bacula 7.4.0 to save backup of my Windows fileserver which
has 4 drives (D:, F:, G:, H:) with 7.1 TB of total capacity.
I've ran a full backup during 7 days which occupied 5.8 TB (~20%
compression rate) in a local filesystem with local SATA disks. This
local filesystem is at 80% usage so I don't have enough free space to
run a 2nd full backup. I was planning to run Full + Incremental +
Differential backups like this:
- Full -> 1st sunday
- Differential -> 2nd-5th sunday
- Incremental -> monday-saturday
If my full backup takes 7 days to complete, how should I schedule my
jobs? I created 3 Storage resources which each point to 3 different
directories so I can run a Full+Incremental or Full+Differential jobs
concurrently.
Also, how long should my retention periods should be so I can run a
new full backup without filling my disk up to 100%? I thought my
retention period could be something like 30 days or less (maybe 21
days)... but .... if my last full backup is overwritten by the new
full backup I guess I won't be able to have a valid copy during the
time my new full backup is running (7 days approximately). Am I right?
I hope you can understand how confused I am here.
P.D. I only use bacula to make backups to this Windows fileserver and
the Bacula server, no more clients are backed up.
Thanks in advance for your help.
