Strange, I've missed that one though I've read the file. So I should interprete Volume Retention now as 'Possible to recycle within xx days', instead of 'Will recycle within xx days'. > Either just believe you set things up correctly :-) Or use a script > which finds the oldest volume for you, so you can prepare the tape > change. There might be other options I didn't think of right now... Hm, I don't exclude configuration issues ofcourse, but if I made a mistake in my configuration, I think the backup wouldn't happen at all. The backup gets done correctly, but now the tape gets recycled just before the backup starts. Is there any way to change this behaviour? I don't care about my backup from 14 days ago when it will be overwritten that evening, but more important, I prefer to 'see' that there is a tape available from the pool in advance (so i know for sure the backup will run during the night). If not, I'll write a script to select the right tape myself (which I even automatically can send to bconsole to recycle the tape manually, but that's maybe a bit 'dirty') ...
