Hi guys, Having a problem with volume recycling on removable file storage: It seems Bacula doesn't check whether a file volume actually exists on disk before recycling it. Is this intended and / or expected behaviour?
I'm running Bacula 2.1.28 (including the director and SDs) on Windows Server 2003 machines. Please hassle me if you'd like me to send through the conf files. I'm backing up several clients to USB-connected external hard-disks (one disk for each day of the week). I'm seeing multiple volumes with the same file names appear on multiple disks. This is both a pain from the sense of identifying which volumes I might actually need, should disaster recovery be required, and in that it means I have to manually jump in and delete files once in a while, to avoid disks filling up. I've heard the tape-autochanger script(s) can be used in these kinds of situations, but am not terribly sure I want to go down this path, if it can be avoided. Is there a reason Bacula doesn't check for the existence of volumes (particularly those marked as being removable, as these are) before recycling them, or could this be considered a suggestion for future versions?
