Hello,
I've got a job that i want to back up to tape. It contains several Large
files that i don't want under disk storage, but i forsee a need to
periodically restore them say over the next year. I'm wondering the best
configuration, this is what i have.
Job {
Name = "backup_to_tape"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Messages = Standard
Client = client1-fd
Storage = "Tape Drive"
FileSet = "isos"
Pool = Default
Write Bootstrap = "/backup/bacula/tape.bsr"
Priority = 10
}
Client {
Name = client1-fd
Address = 111.222.333.444
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "xxx"
File Retention = 45 days
Job Retention = 6 months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
}
I've got the client resource already set up for this box, and it's retention
periods are working fine for another job that it backs up. But the job and
file retention periods for this job wouldn't work and i don't want to have
to continuously adjust retention periods.
Thanks.
Dave.
