I want to relabel a tape that is now called "Daily_4", and is part of the Default pool. I have created pools Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Weekly. This volume has never been written to, and it is marked "purged".
If I use the label command, tell Bacula to call it "Thursday" and put it into the Thursday pool, I am told that the volume is already labeled "Daily_4" and the command fails. If I use the relable command, select the Thursday pool and call the tape "Thursday", I am told "Media record for volume "Thursday" not found." Yet page 91 of the manual says that I should be able to relabel a volume if its status is Purged. My problem is that I have already labeled a number of tapes, which went into the Default pool. I then created the additional pools and want to move tapes into them, which, as I understand, is done with the label or relabel commands. I have one more dilemma, which is not due to any failures or faults. I have created separate backup jobs, schedules and pools for Monday - Thursday and the weekend. I want to do a full backup every weekend and differential backups Mon - Thu, and put the diffs on separate tapes associated with each of those weekdays. It looks to me like Bacula will look to see whether or not a full backup was made by the job and, if not, will do a full backup before doing a diff. Now, I've already done a full backup, but it was another job that did it. Is there any way to tell the jobs that run on Monday - Thursday to skip the full backup, since the weekend job does that, and just to the diff?
