Backup Central

Right now I have all my backups going to a 6 TB raid array. I am trying to keep the fulls on the array, and the Incrementals on another mounted 600 GB storage drive. The storage directors and everything are setup correctly, jobs run just fine, except that they are upgrading themselves to a full backup instead of an incremental backup.

So I guess my question is, should the job check against the catalog on a client basis to see if there is a full backup? It seems to only be concerned that there is not a full backup on the new Storage device instead of checking to see if there are any fulls listed in the catalog (which there is a full from last Friday).

Maybe I am just missing a setting somewhere. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks!

Never mind. I guess it bases it off of job name and not client name. Doesn't make sense to me, but I don't code either =).

I can't do what I want to do, but I guess I can split up clients to different locations instead of backup types.

Which version of bacula are you using?

I remember having the same problem with 3.x, but it got resolved on 5.x...

It checks on a per job basis. Do you have more than 1 job for the same
file set on the same client?

I believe you can use the schedule resource to do what you want with a
single job per client. Remember you can put overrides in the schedule
resource for job level, pool, storage ...

It actually makes perfect sense, since you can have several different jobs (maybe with different fileset, for example) for one single client configuration...

Anyway, I guess your problem is solved now...

I am using 5.x, the one that comes in the Ubuntu 10.04 repository.

I think I see what you mean by having the schedule override the storage. I have been using the Webmin console which is good for most of what I have to do, but I have had to manually edit for wildcard file sets and what not. I didn't know there where this many over rides in the schedule. I will make the changes and see how it goes tonight. thanks for the help!!
