Hi, I use a pool with 6 tapes for weekly full backup, each full backup needs 3 tapes. Retention worked fine for the last few weeks, the expected volumes were used (volume retention 9 days, week 1 volume Bang1/2/3, week 2 volume Bang3/4/5...). Today I got the notification about the upcoming jobs this weekend:
Full 11-Mär-06 19:00 Bang Bang5-2006-02-08 Full 11-Mär-06 19:50 BackupCatalog Bang5-2006-02-08 I was suprised that volume Bang5 should be used as first tape. I changed the state of the other volumes (4/6) with bconsole to Recycle, but bacula still wants volume Bang5 as first tape. This is the output from 'list volumes' (removed some fields to better fit the page). +----------------+---------+--------------+-----+----+-------------------+ |volumename |volstatus|volbytes |files|recy|lastwritten | +----------------+---------+--------------+-----+----+-------------------+ |Bang1-2006-02-08|Full |66,393,748,936| 67 | 1 |2006-02-25 22:48:14| |Bang2-2006-02-08|Purged |66,509,741,779| 67 | 1 |2006-02-26 01:47:09| |Bang3-2006-02-08|Purged |60,504,889,661| 62 | 1 |2006-02-26 11:05:01| |Bang4-2006-02-08|Recycle |66,846,623,315| 67 | 1 |2006-02-18 22:47:03| |Bang5-2006-02-08|Recycle | 1| 0 | 1 |2006-02-19 01:41:36| |Bang6-2006-02-08|Recycle |66,418,086,144| 68 | 1 |2006-02-19 11:13:43| +----------------+---------+--------------+-----+----+-------------------+ I'm confused by this output, because Bang5 was the second tape of three tapes that were used for the full backup three weeks ago. I don't know why volbytes/files show these values. Looking at the volume state with llist, reports 1970-01-01 01:00:00 as firstwritten date. mediaid: 5 volumename: Bang5-2006-02-08 slot: 5 poolid: 1 mediatype: AIT-2 firstwritten: 1970-01-01 01:00:00 lastwritten: 2006-02-19 01:41:36 labeldate: 2006-02-18 19:30:03 voljobs: 0 volfiles: 0 volblocks: 0 volmounts: 1 volbytes: 1 volerrors: 0 volwrites: 1,031,691 volcapacitybytes: 0 volstatus: Recycle recycle: 1 volretention: 777,600 voluseduration: 172,800 maxvoljobs: 0 maxvolfiles: 0 maxvolbytes: 0 inchanger: 1 endfile: 66 endblock: 8,689 volparts: 0 labeltype: 0 storageid: 2 There is one other tape used for a second client that reports this date too. I checked the syslog entries, but couldn't find anything obvious. The time entries between 2006-02-18 and 2006-02-19 are all ok. Any ideas why bacula reports this wrong date?
