Backup Central

Hi All,
I have an LTO4 and LTO2 tapes drive on bacula.

How can I specify a Job/specify to use the LTO4 for full backup on week ends and then differential for LTO2 mon-fri.

As the following does not work

Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyOffsite"
Run = Full sun at 3:00 Storage = LT04-drive
Run = Differential mon-thu at 23:45 Storage = LT02-drive
}

If you have the same setup could you please point me to the correct documentation for this please.

Kind Regards,
Prashant Ramhit

Prashant,

It almost sounds like a misspelling. I see that in your schedule, you wrote LTO with a zero, like LT zero-two. But LTO drives have that name for the acronym "Linear Tape Open", so if your storage config spells it with the letterO, then that's a problem. Try copy-pasting the name to be sure it's found.

Regards,
Laurent Chouinard

Config:

Schedule {

Run = Full sun at 3:00
Run = Differential mon-thu at 23:45 Storage = LT02-Drive
}

From that, I assume that the parameters for specifying another storage should be elsewhere,

Prashant,

What does the log say when it runs those jbos?
Which is the two fail? The full on LTO4, or the Diff on LTO2?
Also, if you run the job manually with "run" command, and then set the type to "Full" and storage to "LTO4", (and then the same for Diff/LTO2), can these jobs work fine?

Laurent Chouinard

Prashant,
This is quite simple. here are the necessary steps:
1. Create different storage devices for the two tape drives, *with
different media types* (LTO2 and LTO4 would be the obvious types).
2. Create a separate Pool of volumes for each media type. (Say,
LTO2-pool with volumes of type LTO2, and LTO4-pool with volumes of type
LTO4.)
3. Use the Full Pool, Differential Pool and Incremental Pool directives
in your JobDefs to specify the correct Pool for each level. Bacula will
figure out the correct storage device to use based on the media type
specified in the Pool.

Hi Laurent,
Sorry, I've corrected the spelling mistakes, but there is still an issue, as error says Config error: Job type field: Storage in run record not found.
I think is it more of an invalid parameter in the schedule section.

I'll keep trying.

Regards,
Prashant

Prashant,

Could you please paste the entire config you're using? It would appear that the "Storage" parameter can not be located in the job or job defaults or schedule, leaving bacula with no possible destination for one Run.

Hi,
Your solution worked perfectly.
Storage can be defined in either the Job or Pool.
And you should specify the level in the Job, the bacula figures out which pool to backup to, hence the storage and the drive.

Thanks for that,
Regards,

Prashant
