Re: [Bacula-users] Not Autorecycling Current Volume

[Warwick Bruce Chapman]

Sir Unfortunately, and I'm only speaking for myself here, I don't have much spare time at the moment. These recycling issues are a little hard to diagnose, i.e. you need lots of information and time to carefully look over all the settings and tape statuses. So I can only give you some pointers now: Thank you. bacula-dir.conf: # Daily pool definition Pool { Name = DailyPool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes Recycle Current Volume = yes AutoPrune = yes UseVolumeOnce = yes From what I understand - and this directive is deprecated! - this should mean that the volumes will not be recycled. On advice of Weyerma, I have replaced UseVolumeOnce with Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 (though I would like to see about getting the Catalog back onto the tape). MaximumVolumeBytes = 38654705664 # This was put here because we kept getting problems about user-defined capacity being reached. Volume Retention = 12 hours Ok, a volume will be kept for 12 hours after it's finished. Finised meand being set to "Used" or "Full". That should be fine.  Backups run 23h00 Sun-Thu Accept Any Volume = yes } When you change pool settings you have to update the volumes to reflect the new default settings. Specific volume settings can be examined with the llist command. It might help if you posted the data for one volume which you think should be recycled. I will take a closer look at this before I bother you guys.  I do have one site which seems to be working perfectly on the original configuration I posted.  Is it possible the the volumes need to be completely removed from the Pool and added again to remove any legacy cruft config collected during the last few weeks of my fiddling to try sort this out?
