The is a chance of bacula pushing all the data on the spool to the tape, pausing that job, picking another job which has more data on the spool do de-spool as the previous previous job attempt to build up its spooled data again. In that case, the data would still be interleaved even though you have no concurrent jobs running. If this isn't a one time thing, the best method is to play around with retention times... Something like this Volume Retention = 40 days # 2 months File Retention = 7 days Job Retention = 30 days Regards, William _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
