I've noticed the date/time stamp reporting wrong too, though in
restoring the files, it never poses any problems.
The other thing to note about volumes (and for us control freak
types, this is a bit awkward) per the Bacula documentation it's best
to let Bacula decide what volumes to use. Just label the media so
it's easy to identify.
In using other systems, I've always tied the media name to a specific
day of the week - it works - especially with clients who don't need
to become sys admins to figure the thing out.
Hope that helps,
Erich

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).

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.

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?
