Hi all,
At the data centre we are using IBM-LTO tape - 3.0TB compressed, 1.5T
uncompressed. Last 2 nights a backup was running and it stopped at about
150GB size and bacula marked the tape as full.
Since the total amount of backed up data sometimes could be huge, I have
purged the volume straight away before the tape was inserted. There is a
total of 10 jobs, and the first job holds the biggest data, somewhere
around 500GB to 2TB at a time. Backup failed at the first job, at 150GB
size.

Pool configuration for the volume:
Pool {
Name = ADHOC
Label Format = "ADHOC_Vol"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Storage = ibmts3310
Volume Retention = 12h
Recycle Current Volume = Yes
}
Side note: I just realized that I missed the "Volume Use Duration =
10h" directive in the pool. Reason being is the same tape would be in
the drive for 2 nights (Saturday and Sunday), since there is no
operator around to change a tape. The tape supposed to be recycled on
Sunday night.
Appreciate if anyone can enlighten me as to why the tape is full way
earlier compared to the size that it is able to contain.
Thanks.
