Hello,
I just realized that bacula is recycling previously written tapes before taking any from the scratch pool. My
pool directives are below. With this setup, I would think that bacula *could* overwrite any tape after four
weeks, but shouldn't if any are available in the scratch pool. Unfortunately, I still have nine tapes
available in my scratch pool and tapes in the full pool are being overwritten.
This brings to light one other question. A few months back the 1.37 and early 1.38 versions of bacula had a
problem with jobs failing when the tape device was writing to a tape in one pool and a job started that
required a tape in another pool. Has this been fixed yet? My temporary solution has been to use a single pool,
as can be seen below, but I would really like to setup a full-diff-inc schedule.
Thanks,
Thomas
