Hello,

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.
I assume that the tape is still in the Default pool? Then you must
select that pool, also with the relable command.
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.
Moving tapes is done by updating volumes and selecting pool.
Labeling writes a label onto them themand puts them in a pool.
So, I assume you'd have to use relabel for the volume name and update
volume to set the new pool.
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?
Remember: Bacula can refer only to jobs that share the same job
definition when deciding to do full, diff or incremental backups.
Once more: You have to put them all into one job definition, and the
schedule can decide which level to do.
I think I pointed that out before.
