Hi Everyone, I'm running 1.38.3 with MySQL on RedHat EL3 with an Autochanger.
The other day, every single tape in my library was marked as either Used or Full. It had been about 4 weeks since bacula purged any volumes. To force it, I ran a backup job, and bacula marked 6 tapes are Purged and one volume as Recycled. - Shouldn't bacula purge volumes outside of their retention period at the start of each backup? Why did it wait until there was no space left to do this? How can I force it otherwise it's very hard for a less technical operator to know which tapes to load. Also, when it recycles a volume, it's hit and miss as to whether it recycles a volume which is in the library or not. - This has been a long standing issue with bacula.. how can I override bacula's desire to want to keep my data for as long as possible and not consider volumes which are not in the autochanger? We just have to meet SLA, which is to be able to restore a file from any day within the last two weeks plus monthlies.
