Hi, I'm a bit confused on whats happening here. Our current setup is backing up to a mounted storage partition. It's got like 2TB of space there which is more than enough for out needs.
I have setup my pools and backups setup as such..... Schedule { Name = "BackupCycle" Run = Level=Full Pool=Full-Pool 1st mon at 1:05 Run = Level=Differential Pool=Diff-Pool mon at 1:05 Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Inc-Pool mon-sun at 1:05 } Pool { Name = Full-Pool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 3 months Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Label Format = "Monthly-Full-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}-${Minute:p/2/0/r}" Maximum Volumes = 12 } Pool { Name = Inc-Pool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 1 month Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Label Format = "Weekly-Inc-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}-${Minute:p/2/0/r}" Maximum Volumes = 63 } Pool { Name = Diff-Pool Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 14 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Label Format = "Daily-Diff-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}-${Minute:p/2/0/r}" Maximum Volumes = 12 } The Idea is that we have a monthly full, a weekly diff, and daily incs. So far things are working out well, it's only been about 2 weeks. But I keep getting this email. 18-Feb 01:05 serv01-sd JobId 33: Job serv02.2009-02-18_01.05.00.06 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for: Storage: "FileStorage" (/mnt/storage) Pool: Inc-Pool Media type: File But all the backup jobs complete, with no errors. Looking at the storage directory, all my files are there, though they have a bit funky of permissions that I don't understand yet. -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root 9.4M Feb 16 01:05 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-16-01-05 -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root 7.0G Feb 16 03:05 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-16-02-05 -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root 20K Feb 16 03:51 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-16-03-51 -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root 11M Feb 17 01:05 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-17-01-05 -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root 6.7G Feb 17 03:04 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-17-02-05 -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root 20K Feb 17 03:05 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-17-03-05 -rwxrwSrwt 1 root root 8.4M Feb 18 01:05 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-18-01-05 -rw-r----- 1 root root 7.2G Feb 18 03:11 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-18-02-05 -rw-r----- 1 root root 92K Feb 18 03:11 Weekly-Inc-2009-02-18-03-11 This is how they look every morning when I check on them. We are only backing up 2 external hosts, and the local host. My real question is, why am I getting intervention emails, but bacula goes ahead and mounts / writes the right backup anyways?
