Hi, Running bacula 1.38.5 on SLES 9 we have following problem when running a backup last night:
10-Mar 23:00 admt-sd: full_backup.2006-03-10_23.00.00 Warning: Director wanted Volume "full_admt-0017". Current Volume "full_admt_0006" not acceptable because: 1998 Volume "full_admt_0006" status is Used, but should be Append, Purged or Recycle (cannot automatically recycle current volume, as it still contains unpruned data). 10-Mar 23:00 admt-sd: Please mount Volume "full_admt-0017" on Storage Device "DDS-5" (/dev/nst0) for Job full_backup.2006-03-10_23.00.00 The volume full_admt_0006 was last written on 22-Feb and has a retention time of 10 days. By 10-Mar it was thus well and truly expired. We are using following DIR settings for the media pool: Pool { Name = full Pool Type = Backup Maximum Volumes = 50 Maximum Volume Jobs = 0 # unlimited Maximum Volume Files = 0 # unlimited Maximum Volume Bytes = 0 # unlimited Catalog Files = yes # catalog in database Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 10d Volume Use Duration = 12h Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool Recycle Current Volume = yes LabelFormat = "full_admt-" } *llist pools Using default Catalog name=default DB=bacula PoolId: 1 Name: full NumVols: 19 MaxVols: 50 UseOnce: 0 UseCatalog: 1 AcceptAnyVolume: 1 VolRetention: 864,000 VolUseDuration: 43,200 MaxVolJobs: 0 MaxVolBytes: 0 AutoPrune: 1 Recycle: 1 PoolType: Backup LabelFormat: full_admt- Enabled: 1 ScratchPoolId: 0 RecyclePoolId: 0 LabelType: 0 After receiving a mount request I executed a manual "prune" command on the volume which correctly expired all jobs of the volume. The backup then continued after issuing a "mount" command. Q: why didn't Bacula automatically prune the volume data even though AutoPrune, Recyle and 'Recycle Current Volume', 'Accept Any Volume' are all set?
