Hi, I created two pools with the option 'Volume Use Duration' set to 48 hours.
Volume Use Duration = 48 hours The volume state of the tapes used for the backup 2 weeks ago, changed their state to 'Used' on the following Tuesday. I got a appropriate message on the console and the state was correctly displayed as 'Used'. 14-Feb 08:42 bacula-dir: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking Volume "Bang3-2006-02-08" as Used. mediaid | volumename | volstatus | -snip- | lastwritten | 3 | Bang3-2006-02-08 | Used | -snip- | 2006-02-13 09:03:06 | But the tapes from last weekends backup are still in 'Append' state. mediaid | volumename | volstatus | -snip- | lastwritten | 6 | Bang6-2006-02-08 | Append | -snip- | 2006-02-19 11:13:43 | mediaid: 6 volumename: Bang6-2006-02-08 slot: 6 poolid: 1 mediatype: AIT-2 firstwritten: 2006-02-18 19:30:03 lastwritten: 2006-02-19 11:13:43 labeldate: 2006-02-18 19:30:03 voljobs: 2 volfiles: 68 volblocks: 1,029,548 volmounts: 2 volbytes: 66,418,086,144 volerrors: 0 volwrites: 1,029,549 volcapacitybytes: 0 volstatus: Append recycle: 1 volretention: 777,600 voluseduration: 172,800 maxvoljobs: 0 maxvolfiles: 0 maxvolbytes: 0 inchanger: 1 endfile: 67 endblock: 4,043 volparts: 0 labeltype: 0 storageid: 2 This looks fine to me, anything I'm missing here?
