Hi , While testing Recycling configuration for volumes. I am facing a issue.
My volumes are in Full status even after expiration of Volume Retention period. I have used "Volume Retention = 3 hours" in pools "Job Retention = 4 months" and "File Retention = 4 months" in client but 6 hours after last written my volume is still in Full status where as I think it should be in Purge state. my pool configuration is: Pool { Name = BACKUP Label Format = "Backup" Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Storage = Autochanger Volume Retention = 3 hours Cleaning Prefix = "CLN" Recycle Oldest Volume = yes } my client configuration is: Client { Name = backup-fd Address = localhost FDPort = 9102 Password = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" # password for FileDaemon Catalog = DefaultCatalog File Retention = 4 months Job Retention = 4 months AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files } in bconsole list media command shows below output: *list media Pool: BACKUP +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | 2 | A00040L4 | Append | 1 | 825,924,685,824 | 832 | 10,800 | 1 | 1 | 1 | LTO-4 | 2013-09-24 00:45:46 | | 3 | A00041L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 10,800 | 1 | 2 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 4 | A00042L4 | Full | 1 | 845,369,247,744 | 852 | 10,800 | 1 | 3 | 1 | LTO-4 | 2013-09-23 19:20:01 | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ As it can be seen that last written time on this volume is 19:20:01 it is mote than 6 hours. Please tell me why it is in Full status . when it will be in purge state. Will it be a problem for volume recycling Thanks in advance...!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
