[Bacula-users] Multiple pools in a single tape?

[Rodrigo R. R. <rr_...@ya...>]

Hi, I'm new to bacula and trying to set it up for our environment.

We are a small office with not too data to backup. I mean, a single 200 
GB tape would do the job perfectly, as today.

But I have a problem and couldn't find the solution reading Bacula's 
manuals.

There is a folder I need to backup containing mbox files, among other 
folders. I need to retain the mail folder (about 5GB currently) for two 
days only, one full backup per day, while I need to retain the other 
folders for about 5 months.

Reading the manuals, I found out that setting the file retention or job 
retetion doesn't delete the files on media, as I wanted.

So it seems to me that if I wanted the desired result, I would need to 
define 2 pools using the same tape, so that I can configure different 
Volume Retentions.

Is that right? It doesn't seem logic to me, as a pool is supposed to 
support multiple volumes or tapes and this configuration would give me a 
tape containing 2 pools...

Please, tell me what would be the better approach to my problem...

Regards,

Rodrigo.
