Hi, Referring to the sample pool below, I assumed that after 1 hour from the last written backup, the volume status will change from 'Append' to 'Used'. This works fine.
Say if I were to make another backup after one hour (but less than 2 hours, not exceeding the retention time), I thought the volume should be pruned and recycled since I have set the 'Recycle Current Volume' to 'yes'. Unfortunately this is not happening. Bacula will wait for a new volume to be created since the volume is marked as 'Used'. Quoting from Bacula documentation: "..if you have set Recycle Current Volume = yes and the Volume is marked as Used or Full, Bacula will prune the volume and if all jobs were removed during the pruning (respecting the retention periods), the Volume will be recycled and used. " Does that mean this parameter still respect the retention period before recycling the 'Used' volume? Sample pool: Pool { Name = Test Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 2 hours Volume Use Duration = 1 hour Recycle Current Volume = yes } Thanks. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by syariati.sha...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
