New Feature Request - Storage pools

Post by ctsdtm »

A little different than simply adding an additional location for the destination. Storage pools would allow rotation of two or more disk off and on site. With backup I do it today by making sure the Disk always have the same drive letter assigned. However this creates a little problem with automatic cleaning of the old backups- IF timing gets off when it's time to delete an old backup but that disk is "offsite" - backup attempts to delete the file but it's not there. It then clears the backup from the history and makes no other attempt to clean up that old backup - but does give an error message.
With storage pools the concept is the history would track which disk the backup is on if that disk is present when the number of backups to keep is over. If that disk is not present - it does not attempt to delete that backup.

Hello!

Thank you for your suggestion. I will add this in my list of "todo" things for coming up versions.
