Good day
I'm using PVE for over 7 years and i loved PBS as it came out.
Everything works like a charm, for sure some skills are needed but without them, we would be wrong in our passion anyways.
Thank you in advance for building such unique tools!
Actually, I have a server in a dc in frankfurt running PVE and backing up some local machines there.
The PBS-FRA is synced to the PBS running at my home in Zwickau, let's call its PBS-ZWI.
The sync and everything works fine, PBS-FRA holds the latest 2 backups and PBS-ZWI keeps them longer.
I got an old LTO5 Tapeloader (HP MSL2024) with a bunch of tapes. But I don't have that much HDD space for PBS-ZWI.
My main goal would be to write the PBS-ZWI to the tapes at weekend and then prune the files from PBS-ZWI to free up
space there and archive the tapes.
At the moment im backing up like:
Mo-Sa => rotating daily will be 6 backups per week (will be overwritten on next weeks day)
Sunday => rotating weekly will be 3 packups per month (will be overwritten every month)
fist Sunday month => doing monthly (all of them will be kept. Monthly never gets thrown away)
Is this out of the concept or did I miss something?
Thanks, Servus and take care!
