Hey list,
I've just upgraded from 2.0.3 to 2.2.4. I have a scheme with a different
pool for each day. Each daily pool consist of 2 tapes, so we have a
retention for 2 weeks (except a friday-full backup has 6 tapes). This is
done so we can store every daily backup in a safe place, away from the
servers.
In my Pool parameters I've entered the following parameters:
Volume Retention = 13 days
Volume Use Duration = 1 day
In version 2.0.3, the 14th day, the tape got auto-recycled, and when I
typed in 'status director', I could see that the next backup was going to
happen on tape XXXX (the recycled tape, autoselected from the right pool
by Bacula).
Now I've upgraded to 2.2.4 and when I choose 'status director', Bacula
says the Volume for the next backup is 'unknown', for example :
Differential Backup 10 01-Oct-07 18:55 Tape *unknown*
When this backup will take place (so tonight at 18:55), Bacula *will*
recycle the correct volume, and if the right tape is inserted, the backup
will work. However, this tape normally should already be recycled (like in
2.0.3 behaviour), since the volume retention is 13 days.
So now, I manually have to lookup the correct tape in the pool, check
which one is the oldest to know which one will be recycled. As I
understand it, the previous behaviour from Bacula 2.0.3 is the correct
behaviour (after 13 days-> recycle, so, the tape should be free already
and I should see it in bconsole). Is this a bug in 2.0.4, or is it
explicitly changed to make tapes available as long as possible? If so,
what is the easiest way for me to know the right tape in advance?
Thanks!
