Hi Harald,
In spite of Kern answer, IMHO, I think you should not use automatic
labeling with tapes. I have automatic recycling working fine, with volume
use duration = 23 h and various retention periods. But no automatic volume
labeling.
>From Bacula´s Manual:
"Please note that automatic Volume labeling can also be used with tapes,
but it is not nearly so practical since the tapes must be pre-mounted. This
requires some user interaction. "
Also, I have my FirstWritten and LastWritten timestamps correctly set at
bacula database.
Best regards,
Ana
