Hi,

I'm having troubles with volume retention in my bacula config-

Just as some background, we have a system using three DLT8000 drives, with a library
of 96 tapes, backing up ~70 machines (probably a total of ~800 gigs of data.)

I've separated the tapes out into three different pools for our purposes, and I've set
the volume retention for 30 days (file retention is 14 days, job retention is 30 days)

Yesterday, I received a notice saying:

--snip--

13-Nov 05:19 storage: Job cust3.2005-11-13_00.00.02 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      DLT8000-1
    Media type:   DLT8000
    Pool:         corp_pool

--snip--

but in my pool (from the "list media" output), I do have volumes that are marked as "Full",
and have a lastwritten date from Sept-

Shouldn't bacula take one of those tapes and re-use it? since the the volume retention is
30 days, and Sept is more than 30 days ago? Maybe I have something wrong in my config?
 
My pool config is setup like:
 
--snip--
 
Pool {
        Name = corp_pool
        Pool Type = Backup
        Recycle = yes
        AutoPrune = yes
        Volume Retention = 30 days
        Accept Any Volume = yes
}
Pool {
        Name = web_pool
        Pool Type = Backup
        Recycle = yes
        AutoPrune = yes
        Volume Retention = 30 days
        Accept Any Volume = yes
}
Pool {
        Name = office_pool
        Pool Type = Backup
        Recycle = yes
        AutoPrune = yes
        Volume Retention = 30 days
        Accept Any Volume = yes
}
 
--snip--
 
Thanks,
 
Mike
