Hi, do you know when you have some itching question that just won’t go away?
First one: I know various people (including me) that store to disk, and tried Action on Purge = Truncate but they all reported that the actual filesystem files did not get truncated to zero bytes. Especially when using a Volume just once, this is rather unfortunate. So, question: does action on purge = truncate actually work for someone here? Second one: Is there a best practice to make sure that Bacula requests a new tape during daytime? (We’re using maximum use duration of 15 days or so, and the problem is that it usually decides to ask for a new tape some time in the night. Then, that backup is stalled, until someone switches the tapes, Bacula writes a few meg on the new tape and then it’s happy. Sadly that means we’d need to offsite both tapes. Backup to that tape is done Weekly on Sundays. Maybe it’s just some bad timing offset we started with? What I’d want is that it just asks for a new tape on time :) Should I simply make a mail cron job that asks for a new tape on Friday, and add a little wiggle room on the max duration?
