Not exactly... Yes, 23h hours after the first time bacula writes any data into it. BUT, the volume may be recycled later, which means discarding the old data in it, and then there will be another 23h period, with the original volume name. And this is where the volume label with timestamp of original create time may be very misleading. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
