Hello *, Bacula 2.0.3/Debian here, using DVD and full/month+diff/week+incr/day schedule. In order to always have the full backup on a single media, I need to set the volume status as "Full" before the next 1st monday of each month. Now I guess there could be at least two ways to do that:
1. set the Volume Use Duration to 1 month 2. run an admin job before the full backup that sets the current volume status to "Full" and mails the operator asking for a new media. SInce "1 month" is likely to be different from "until next 1st mon at 10:00", and since the manual says that "Volume Use Duration" wants a time-period-specification, which is quite hard to adapt to the time remaining before the next full backup, I suspect that the way to go is 2. However the only way I know to change the volume status is the "update volume" command in bconsole. Is there a way to run that command from a shell script or inside an admin job?
