I'm responding to my own post and snipping all of it out. If you want the details follow the thread backwards, otherwise, read on.
Did some refresher reading this morning, and this section of the docs was particularly helpful: http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html The gist of it is that Bacula does not perform a pruning operation unless it must do so to free up a volume. In other words, as long as there are volumes available, Bacula doesn't autoprune. Makes perfect sense why my rotation volumes never got recycled, there were plenty of other volumes in the pool that had never been used. As a solution, I've created another pool and reorganized my rotation volumes into this new pool, then updated the schedule so it will look specifically for the correct pool on the correct day. I expect this will take away the need for manual pruning. You may want to investigate whether this is the source of your problems as well. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
