I've read about that, but why was there no message about the recycled volume from last weekend? Martin Simmons wrote that this message comes from the sd. 08-Apr 00:10 VU0EM005: Recycled volume "06D124L3" on device "LTO3" (/dev/nst0), all previous data lost. It's possible that _I_ purged this volume manually and therefor no message about pruning/purging appears in the log file. Because the volumes are just beginning to be reused, it might be completely ok that no volume were purged before. It's funny, today the first "Prune" messages appear in the log. 12-Apr 15:26 VU0EM005: Pruned 14 Jobs on Volume "06D121L3" from catalog. 12-Apr 15:26 VU0EM005: Pruned 30 Jobs on Volume "06D122L3" from catalog. 12-Apr 15:26 VU0EM005: Recycled volume "06D121L3" But all of this does not explain, why recycling and marking the volume as used happend at the same minute :( Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
