Hello. I am new to bacula and thus have some questions how to work with it. I am plannig to use Bacula to backup just one partition on the same Machine. This partition is the data partition of a owncloud server. Actually bacula will be used as a safeguard mechanism, for example in case somebody delets a file by mistake. Its not about failure safety, therefore I use RAID. I have a maximum of 4TB data in owncloud and 8TB for the backup. A full backup will take maximum 4 hours, so this wont be a problem. which backup strategy makes sense? Since I use RAID, shouldn't I just make, lets say, a weekly full backup and hourly incremental backupsand no differential backup? Does it make sense, to have a pool with volumes for the full backup and retention times such that enough space for the full backups is guaranted? Can I force this behavior by just setting the volume retention for the fullBackupPool to 7 days and job retention and file retention something less than 7 days? How can I force bacula to behave somehow flexible when running increemntal backups? If needed bacula should be allowed to use a volume after, for example, an hour. But if possible, bacula should use the "oldest" volume. Does baculas automatic volume recycling work like this, when I just set job retention and file retention to zero? How about using just one big volume for incremental backup and one for full backup? Hope somebody can help me and answer my questions.
