Hi Thomas,
I think you're missing an =. Should be "Volume Retention = 4 weeks"
Also try "Recycle Current Volume = yes". Bacula will use whichever volume is
mounted, but obeys the retention periods.
Hope this helps,
Matt
Good eye Matt, but that was a just a typo in the email.
After doing some math I noticed that the volume retention period was one year for all of my tapes, even though
it was set to four weeks in the pool resource. I purged a tape and relabeled it and sure enough the retention
period was one year. I then changed the pool resource so volume retention would be one month. After purging a
relabeling a tape the retention period is set for 1 month. I then set it back to four weeks in the pool
resource, and with a relabel the retention period was correctly set. I have no idea why this happened, and I
can't seem to reproduce it.
My question now is about recycling volumes. I noticed when using "Recycle Oldest Volume", bacula did just
that, even if the tape was not in the library. It would be ideal if bacula would recycle the oldest available
volume, will this happen under normal recycle conditions?
Thanks,
Thomas
