Hi Bruno.
Nope, i don't use this option. My bacula version is 5.0.3.
Is ActionOnPurge=Truncate the default behavior ? i have no override
on this, so if it's default, it could be that.
I have several tape that are waiting for rotation because of the "bad
label" tape blocking issue, but the other seems to be not corrupted yet.
I guess, some of those tape should be reuse as well as soon the
situation is solved, but as i don't have any people working those day,
having the whole system blocked is a good opportunity to try solving
the problem correctly.
if i add ActionOnPurge=None on all my pool, will it propagate to my
"waiting to be recycle" volumes or will i have to do something special ?
How should i do a test run with that without waiting for the next
recycling problem, which can occurs in a month or so ?
Below is my pool conf file:
Pool {
Name = AllIncrementals
Label Format = "Incr"
Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Storage = gozer-sd_on_Batcave
Volume Retention = 1 months
}
Pool {
Name = AllDifferentials
Label Format = "Diff"
Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Storage = gozer-sd_on_Batcave
Volume Retention = 1 months
}
Pool {
Name = AllFulls
Label Format = "Full"
Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Storage = gozer-sd_on_Batcave
Volume Retention = 2 months
Maximum Volume Jobs = 2
}
Pool {
Name = CatalogFulls
Label Format = "Full"
Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Storage = gozer-sd_on_Batcave
Volume Retention = 2 months
}
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
}
# Scratch pool definition
Pool {
Name = Scratch
Pool Type = Backup
}
