If I'm correct, it is probably due to volume retention of 1 month - after one month, the oldest volume will be recycled. It will never go *above* 45, even if you increase retention (in that case it will stop and ask operator to insert/label new empty volumes) Note that retention does not directly influence data on tape, but just the catalog database; so you could still bscan(8) old tapes and get data back in the catalog - it is only when those volumes finally get used again that the old data will be destroyed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
