Thanks for your quick response.
They are marked "full". When I "inherited" this setup, I noticed (using
the GUI), that all the tapes in my Oracle pool were marked "purge". I
have no idea why my predecessor did that, or if he even did it or bacula
did it unintentionally. Could that be the problem??
Here's my pool config. The Oracle pool is the one I'm having issues
with. Thanks.
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
}
Pool {
Name = Windows
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 120 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
}
Pool {
Name = UnixOS
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 5 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
# Catalog Files = no
}
Pool {
Name = BrutusImages
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 5 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Catalog Files = no
}
Pool {
Name = Oracle
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 10 days
Accept Any Volume = yes

Are they marked "Full" or "Used"?
What does your Pool configuration look like?
