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.
Michael explained that part already, but one other thing you might want
to consider: AFAIR, you can not setup Bacula to automatically move
purged volumes back into the scratch pool. That pool could be considered
the last resort when nothing else is available. For example, you could
automatically monitor that pool, and when the number of tapes in it go
below a certain watermark you order new tapes.
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?
It's fixed in the current 1.38.4 beta release, as far as I can tell.
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.
Works here correctly, again, after a long time with problems.

Thanks,
