I actually do something very similar to this but with use-once disk volumes. But I use Volume Use Duration = 23h, making certain each volume's use duration has expired before the next set of daily jobs begins. My example, for the shortest-lifetime pool: Pool { Name = Incr-Disk Storage = asgard-file Pool Type = Backup Recycle = no Recycle Oldest Volume = no Recycle Current Volume = no AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 1 month File Retention = 1 month Maximum Volume Jobs = 0 Volume Use Duration = 23h Label Format = "INCR-$Year${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}:${Minute:p/2/0/r}" RecyclePool = Scratch } -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
