Hi, I'm doing disk-based backups and having a problem getting bacula to recycle my purged volumes. It looks like bacula moves the purged volumes out of their configured pool. Then when bacula tries to recycle a volume, it chokes with the warning 'Wanted to create Volume "clone-Diff-0005", but it already exists. Trying again'. I'm not using RecyclePool in my configs.
How do I configure bacula to keep purged volumes in their original pool so they get reused after the retention period expires? Here's an example: zeus-dir: Start Backup JobId 268, Job=clone.2007-11-16_05.05.00 zeus-dir: There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "clone-Diff-0005". Marking it purged. zeus-dir: New Pool is: Default zeus-dir: All records pruned from Volume "clone-Diff-0005"; marking it "Purged" zeus-dir: clone.2007-11-16_05.05.00 Warning: Wanted to create Volume "clone-Diff-0005", but it already exists. Trying again. And here's the job definition: Job { Name = "clone" Client = clone-fd Storage = cloneFile Schedule = "WednesdaySchedule" JobDefs = "DefaultJob" FileSet = "RootFS-clone" Full Backup Pool = "clone-Full" Differential Backup Pool = "clone-Diff" } JobDefs { Name = "DefaultJob" Type = Backup Level = Incremental Pool = Default FileSet = "RootFS" Schedule = "DefaultSchedule" Messages = Standard Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/%c_%n.bsr" Priority = 10 } Pool { # daily differential backups Name = "clone-Diff" Pool Type = Backup Maximum Volume Jobs = 1; Volume Retention = 5 days Recycle Oldest Volume = yes Label Format = "clone-Diff-" } And some software details: Director OS: FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE File Daemon OS: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE bacula-dir/sd: 2.2.4 bacula-fd: 2.2.4 catalog: MySQL 5.0 Thanks, Dane -- Dane Miller Systems Administartor Greatschools, Inc http://www.greatschools.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
