Hello,
Thanx for the reply Zed Master. I was able to change the Volume retention
period by using update pools command.
But now the only problem left is , how do I make use of the tapes from other
pools to our odd_week and even_week pool ? If pools can pick tape from the
"Scratch" only, what if I move
the tape from one of the unneeded pools to Scratch. Will it work that way? And
if yes ...what to do next??
Plz help.
Thanx.

Hi,
1 > I don't think it's possible, pools can only pick tape from the "scratch"
one... to be confirmed.
2> After changing Retention period n the pool configuration, you have to
execute an "update pool" command from the console in order to update existant
tapes. If not, only new tapes will use the new value of the property.
Hope this will help you

Hello,
We are having Fujitsu Tape library with 2 magzines enabled with 23 Slots + 1
I/E slot. Recently we are falling short of the space in volumes for our daily
backups.
1> Is it possible to use the tapes defined in another Pools to be used in
other??
Like we have this setup,
*list volumes
Pool: odd_week

Pool: Scratch
No results to list.
Can we make use of the volumes defined under special_backup and system_files
pools , in the odd_week and even_week pools?
2> Secondly, we used to have 120 Days of Volume Rentention period
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = odd_week
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 120 days # 4 Months
Which we changed to be 90 days (3 Months) , but still the "Last Written" and
"When Expire" differs by 4 months (Please see above output). Why is it so?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
admin
