Hello,
I am having a lot of trouble with my bacula configuration.
- I have one LTO device with 1 manual tape.
- I labeled 6 tapes for MON,TUE,WEN,THU,FRY,SAT. So I have 6 volumes
with one tape each.
- I used the sample configuration with Pools assiging one volume per day.
So, do I undertand correctly that you have a pool MON, a pool TUE, and
so on?
- I lowered the volume retention to just 10 hours per volume.
- I assigned the max number of jobs to the number of jobs I run nightly,
so to have all the jobs on each volume each day.
- I used the Max Start Delay flag to let bacula cancel any job that is
in late.
Then if the user insert the wrong tape for one day, bacula never cancel
the job, and continue to ask for another volume, until I cancel the job
by hands. Why?
Because the job was started in time. You want Max Wait Time. And it asks
because it needs a volume from the given pool, not from another pool.
The usual setup is to use one pool and put all your daily tapes into it.
Also, when something wrong happens, so that a tape have less jobs backed
up than the max number of jobs, next time the volume will be in append
mode, messing all the original idea (even though I have a low volume
retention, that should tell bacula to recycle every day).
What am I missing?!
The Volume Use Duration setting is better for what you want.
