Hi, I have two jobs that are using one pool. One job is the weekly full backup, the other is the BackupCatalog (250MB). Both jobs fit on 3 tapes, the complete pool consists of 6 tapes (2 full weekly backups). Volume Retention is 9 days, Volume Use Duration 24h.
Last weekend the weekly full backup used the expected tapes, but the BackupCatalog job recycled a forth tape, instead of appending the catalog just to the third tape. Weekly: 11-Mär 19:00 bacula-dir: Start Backup JobId 26, Job=Bang.2006-03-11_19.00.00 [-snip-] Volume name(s): Bang6-2006-02-08|Bang5-2006-02-08|Bang4-2006-02-08 Volume Session Id: 1 Volume Session Time: 1141979698 Last Volume Bytes: 63,232,189,61 [-snip-] Catalog: 12-Mär 07:01 bacula-dir: Start Backup JobId 27, Job=BackupCatalog.2006-03-11_19.50.00 12-Mär 07:01 bacula-dir: Recycled volume "Bang2-2006-02-08" [-snip-] I don't know why bacula decided to recycle this tape, there should have been enough space on the third tape for the 250MB big catalog, this worked the last 4 weeks without problem. The problem now is, that my next full backup won't fit on the remaining 2 tapes. The four used tapes will be recycled after 9 days...
