Hi iam running bacula 1.38.5, iam using my hard drive to make the backups, i have 2 pools:

A) Full Backups
     4 Volumes
B)Incremental Backups
     2 Volumes

For each Full Backup(every monday) i need about 12GB, right now i have less than 9GB i need to flush some Volume(set to zero), bacula handle this or i need to doit manually..?

Bacula only frees space when it recycles a volume. To manually achieve what you want, you should either set up a job that recycles the volumes in question (probably modifying your retention strategy) and writes a tiny amount of data to them, or you manually delete the volumes first from the catalog (through a Bacula console) and then from disk.

This is one of my oldest volumes:

Pool: MueblexFull
        MediaId: 1
        VolumeName: MueblexFull01
        Slot: 0
        PoolId: 1
        MediaType: File
        FirstWritten: 2006-04-03 18:00:03
        LastWritten: 2006-04-04 00:14:13
        LabelDate: 2006-04-03 18:00:03
        VolJobs: 4
        VolFiles: 2
        VolBlocks: 172,529
        VolMounts: 4
        VolBytes: 11,130,017,683
        VolErrors: 0
        VolWrites: 172,530
        VolCapacityBytes: 0
        VolStatus: Used
        Recycle: 1
        VolRetention: 691,200
        VolUseDuration: 0
        MaxVolJobs: 4
        MaxVolFiles: 0
        MaxVolBytes: 0
        InChanger: 1
        EndFile: 2
        EndBlock: 2,540,083,303
        VolParts: 0
        LabelType: 0
        StorageId: 1

My maximum retention period is 8 days, my first write for this volume was on 2006-04-03 - 2006-04-20 = 17 days older.

Last Written is more important... anyway, without a good reason Bacula will not delete the data in it, or rather truncate or delete the file.


This is my other older volume:

   MediaId: 3
       VolumeName: MueblexFull-02
       Slot: 0
       PoolId: 1
       MediaType: File
       FirstWritten: 2006-04-10 18:00:02
       LastWritten: 2006-04-11 00:23:33
       LabelDate: 2006-04-10 18:00:02
       VolJobs: 4
       VolFiles: 2
       VolBlocks: 172,611
       VolMounts: 4
       VolBytes: 11,135,378,044
       VolErrors: 0
       VolWrites: 172,612
       VolCapacityBytes: 0
       VolStatus: Used
       Recycle: 1
      VolRetention: 691,200
       VolUseDuration: 0
      MaxVolJobs: 4
      MaxVolFiles: 0
      MaxVolBytes: 0
      InChanger: 1
      EndFile: 2
      EndBlock: 2,545,443,665
      VolParts: 0
      LabelType: 0
      StorageId: 1

Them can i just put the file on Zero or bacula handle this...?
