Strategy advice

[Sean H]

Greetings

I have a large amount of data to backup. Approximately 12TB. Much of it is static, however, it does change daily.

Reading about Bareos and the various options, I am unclear on the best strategy to backup this much data with a view to eventually having to restore it. Would Always Incremental be a good option?

I am new to Bareos and insight is welcome.

Thank you,
Sean.

Yes, I would say Always Incremental is the best option here, as you only
keeping one Full. If you need long time copies, you can still use the
describes copy jobs to generate additional Fulls.
