[Bacula-users] Gap of time without backup?
2017-05-26 07:04:47
Assuming the specified schedule, volume retention, and job
retention... is there a possibility that you can have a failed
full backup on the 1st Sunday that leaves you without any backup
for 24 hours? (Previous full one has expired in terms of
retention, which kills all incremental and differentials for the
previous month. So, doesn't it mean that there is no backup
until the next one completes?)
Should retention periods be setup so that they are 1 month + 1
day?
Also, it seems that job and volume retention should be the same
in most cases. It appears to not be useful to have one without the
other. job without volume can tell you where the file used to be,
and volume without job makes it near impossible to find a given
file... correct?
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Full 1st sun at 23:05
Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 23:05
Run = Incremental mon-sat at 23:05

## File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 4 weeks # same as everything else.
Maximum Volume Bytes = 30G # Limit Volume size to
something reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 185 # Limit number of Volumes in
Pool
Label Format = "Vol-" # Auto label
Action On Purge = Truncate
}
