Hi.
I use Disk files as storage media and I have the next Pool configuration:
--
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 90 days # 90 days
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200 # 50Gb
Volume Use Duration = 23h
LabelFormat = "Vol"
}
--
The problem is that I see a new volume is created whenever a jobs starts
like this:
--
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 428151308 Sep 8 01:11 Vol0016
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 490936060 Sep 9 01:18 Vol0017
--
But I see there is no max volumes on the Pool:
--
*list pools
+--------+---------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+
| PoolId | Name | NumVols | MaxVols | PoolType | LabelFormat |
+--------+---------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+
| 1 | Default | 43 | 0 | Backup | Vol |
+--------+---------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+
--
So my question is, ¿what will happen when the disk gets full? ¿It will
try to recycle old volumes or it will fail? Should I set a maximun
volumes on the pool?, How?
Thanks in advance for your help

if bacula finds a media inserted that is recyclabe it will use it ..
however my experience tells it is a good idea to set MaximumVolumes.
otherwise it will create a new volume if it can't recyle the inserted
one, that may happen if a backup got delayed and the redemption period
isn't reached f.ex.
since you use HD backup it could fill up your HD otherwise.
