Hello all,
"If there is no maximum volumes set, Bacula will continue to create new
volumes in favor of using existing volumes, even if
they are pruned/purged. (at least this is how it is documented and how
it is taught in Bacula Systems' Admin I course)"
I would have to perform a lab, but this doesn't look accurate at all.
I performed dozens with installations with pools with no MV set, and Bacula
algo prefers to write to an append or recycled tape, if existent.
The only practical application mor MV (IMHO) is to limit a condition when
Bacula enters in a bad loop and keeps trying to create an infinite number of
volumes, but I guess this was corrected in newer versions.
Regards,
