[Bacula-users] File Set and Compression

[Maria M. <ma...@sh...>]

Greetings,

I posted this a bit ago, but didn't receive a response, so thought I 
would try again...

I would like to have most of the jobs I run to be compressed and put on 
disk, but I want the daily incremental to be put on tape, which means 
letting the hardware do compression. It looks like the only way to do 
this is to define a separate FileSet for the jobs done nightly than for 
the jobs done weekly. However, I'm pretty sure that this will mean that 
the daily is truly a separate job, and will not recognize the weekly 
full backup as the same job, even though they are the same files, and 
will thus not 'reset' every week to the current weekly backup, and will 
continue to indefinitely do incremental to the full set it will want to 
do when I start the bacula daemon. Is there any way around this, or 
should I just move entirely to disk?

cheers,
maria
