OK I am surrendering ;-) this is what is happening to me. I have 6 tapes and need to back up 8 clients and 1 backupcatalog. I am doing a full backup on Friday's on 7 clients and diffs the rest of the week (excluding Sunday). The 8th client I am doing a full on Tuesday's and nothing else during the rest of the week (if someone needs to know why I can tell you). So what is happening now is that when a tape fills up it should automatically mount the next tape. This has not been the case I have been manually having to do this all along.
I assume you have an autochanger / autoloader / library?
Just set up the storage daemon and the director properly. You find the necessary information in the manual.
Now what I did was labeled the tapes before I began backing this network up. So now what I am running into is all the tapes are filled and I want to purge them. I have tinkered with the conf and have had no success to have this done automatically.
According to your configuration, the volumes should be purged after about one year, so what's wrong? More information is in the manual.
So what I have been doing is manually purging the tapes ( I am well aware of what this does and am ok with it, unless it is what is causing my problem which I will describe in a minute) then mounting them and going on with the backup. Well last week I ran into an issue of which I did post here where I was being told xxxxx volume doesnt not exsist when I would try to mount it. So what I ended up doing is deleting that from my database writing and eof
Well, I suggest you read the manual. I don't know what you deleted from the database, but...
and relabelling it with the same name it has prior to me deleting from db. In bconsole I would type list media and I would see all the volumes there (I did this when I was being told it couldnt find the volume when I tried to mount it)
...once a volume is deleted from the database it can't be listed anymore.
Can anyone help me with this or should I just start over from scratch? Even if I start over from scratch I will still need to prune purge these volumes. Thanks in advance. Oh I included by bacula-dir.conf file.
I seriously recommend reading the manual and working through the chapters on basic setup. If you don't want to do that yourself, I'm sure there is someone around whom you can pay to set up your backup system.
Sorry, but it seems as though you didn't actually read the manual, and understanding that is necessary to operate bacula.
