hi,
I got a problem with automatic tape status change, which does not work. Tapes
always got status "Append", even when their retention period is exceeded.
I use a Disk/Tape scheme with Bacula 5.0.2.
I change tapes weekly in a Single Drive HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1760 LTO4.
Copy to tape runs every night after backup to disk.
One problem I haven't solved so far is automatic tape pruning.
On the Tape pool I have set
Volume Use Duration = 13 days
Volume Retention = 14 days
RecycleOldestVolume=no
But the Tapes are still always on "Append" state. So I must relabel the tape
manually after change to get them pruned.
List of my current tapes:
N Status Bytes Max Jobs Retention Type First

How could I change my configuration so that bacula automatically prunes tapes
older 14 days on next insert?
Here is an excerpt of my config files:
--- POOLS ---
# Default B2D pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = File
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 14 days
LabelFormat = b2d-
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G
# Duplicate: Next pool to use if running copy jobs
NextPool = Tape
}
# LTO-4 Tape pool definition
Pool {
Name = Tape
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Use Duration = 13 days
Volume Retention = 14 days
RecycleOldestVolume=no
#Recycle Current Volume = yes # enable this if autorecycle doesnt work. ro
LabelFormat = autolabel-
Storage = LTO-4
}
-- JOBDEFS --
JobDefs {
Name = client1
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = client1-fd
FileSet = client1-files
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 1
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/%c.bsr"
}
JobDefs {
Name = CopyDiskToTape
Type = Copy
Messages = Standard
Client = None
FileSet = None
Selection Type = PoolUncopiedJobs
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
SpoolData = No
Allow Duplicate Jobs = Yes
Allow Higher Duplicates = No
Cancel Queued Duplicates = No
Cancel Running Duplicates = No
Priority = 100
}
-- JOBS --
# client1
Job {
Name = "client1-job"
JobDefs = "client1-files"
}
# Duplicate to tape
Job {
Name = "CopyDiskToTapeFullBackups"
Enabled = Yes
Schedule = DaySchedule6:00
Pool = Default
JobDefs = CopyDiskToTape
}
-- CLIENTS --
Client {
Name = client1-fd
Address = client1
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = XXXXXX
AutoPrune = yes
}
Thanks for your help!
