You can try using any one of the following options: Maximum Volume Jobs = <positive-integer> Volume Use Duration = <time-period-specification> Info on them is available at: http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/FileSet_Resource.html#SECTION001580000000000000000 However, Bacula might not immediately set the volume to used. It is more likely to do so the next time it goes to access that volume when it realises it's past it's threshold. It still wont use the volume after the first day however. If this is a concern, it's it's also possible to add a run after job script that updates the volume status as part of the last job. Something like the following would work: ---------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # # Determine the currently loaded volume via bconsole # CURRVOL=`echo "status storage=Tape" | /usr/sbin/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf | grep "is mounted with Volume" | awk -F\" '{print $4}'` # # Mark the volume used. # /usr/sbin/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf <<EOCMDS2 gui off @# @# Marking Volume $CURRVOL as Used @# update volume="$CURRVOL" VolStatus="Used" . @output /dev/null EOCMDS2 exit 0 ---------------------------------------- Cheers, Troy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
