I'm having problems configuring my volumes, jobs, and pools the way I want.
I'm trying to set things up to do this:
Create a disk Volume if none exists, automatically label it
Use the volume for 7 days, then retain it for 28 days
Recycle the volume at the end of 28 days and reuse.
The way I thought it would work is that for a given week in the month (1-4
out of 4) Bacula would write the incrementals and full backup for the week
to
the disk volume. The beginning of the next week the Volume would be marked
full and either a new Volume created, or the appropriate Volume reused.
Here is my configuration:
Pool {
Name = My_Disks
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 27d
Volume Use Duration = 7d
LabelFormat = "${Pool}-${NumVols}"
}
I've run into a couple of issues. First is that 5 volumes were created and
are in use, not 4. The other is that jobs seem to be running when a Volume
expires, so it tries to create another but the Storage Device is in use. I'm
really not sure how to make this setup work the way I want it to.

04-Jan 02:30 mt-back4.storage JobId 425: Fatal error: acquire.c:366 Wanted
to append to Volume "My_Disks-2", but device "ZFS_Storage"
(/mnt/backup1/bacula) is busy writing on "My_Disks-1" .

job.c:1751 Bad response to Append Data command. Wanted 3000 OK data
, got 3903 Error append data
I feel that until I can get this working correctly that I can't proceed with
configuring the Migration jobs. The Migration jobs I'd like to have move the
previous week's disk jobs to tape. I have a vague idea how this is done, but
I believe that it will be dependent on how the weekly volumes are used.
Thanks
