I'm having a tough time trying to get Bacula to recycle volumes
properly. I'm trying to backup a Windows server with a full backup on
Sunday and incrementals Monday to Saturday. Backup is to a removable
USB disk and I want the filenames to be automatically created in the
format ProductionVol001, ProductionVol002 etc through to
ProductionVol007, after which it will go back to 001 again.
My relevant config entries are:
Pool {
Name = Production
Use Volume Once = yes
Pool Type = Backup
LabelFormat = "ProductionVol"
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 7 days
Maximum Volumes = 7
Recycle = yes
}
Client {
Name = production-fd
Address = production
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "password" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 30 days # 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months # six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Job {
Name = "ProductionFiles"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Client = production-fd
Write Bootstrap = "/var/bacula/ProductionFiles.bsr"
FileSet = "ProductionFiles"
Pool = Production
}
The problem is that every time the schedule runs I'm getting the
all-too-familiar error (below). All other backup jobs then stop
completely.
25-May 08:43 backup-sd: Job ProductionFiles.2005-05-25_08.43.07 waiting.
Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: FileStorage
Media type: File
Pool: Production
If I use label (which in my reckoning I should never need to do as
Bacula should automatically create the label for me) then it works for
that time, but next time it'll halt again with the same error.
Can anyone throw me any pointers?
Thanks,
MattB
