This is also something I would like to see. Sooo, an RFC sent to the bacula-devel list in the next few weeks would receive a lot of attention from me. Please be *very* specific about what you want. I think the current algorithm can be vastly improved, but just the same, if you ask for the next tape that will be mounted, then you or a job does a purge, it is possible that it will change. In any case, if it is a question of mounting tapes, Bacula should in principle take any valid tape for the particular job even if it might ask for another or have a preference for another, a valid tape will be accepted. > > I've been trying to build my pools out so there are always enough purged > tapes to just fill the magazines, but it's time consuming and we don't > always have enough blanks (especially when someone starts using archival > areas for 200Gb of scratch space and blows a month's tape budget in 3 > days) > > It can probably be done with appropriately crafted mysql commands... Yes, unless the user is running on the ragged edge of available Volumes, in which case a pruning is necessary to come up with the right answer. > > AB > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies > from IBM.
