Hi!
I have been playing with the full, inc, diff and scratch pool. I have
one volume in the full pool with one backup. Another volume in the
incremental pool with all jobs purged. No jobs should be there. Now I
launch a differential backup in differential pool, where no tapes exist.
OK, as in the incremental pool, there's a volume without jobs in the
database (and purged) and in this state :
+---------+----------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+
| mediaid | volumename | volstatus | enabled | volbytes |
volfiles | volretention | recycle | slot | inchanger | mediatype |
voltype | volparts | lastwritten | expiresin |
+---------+----------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+
| 4 | CINTA-BACK107001-004 | Append | 1 | 3,293,267 |
0 | 3,283,200 | 1 | 0 | 0 | File | 1 |
0 | 2022-06-01 13:00:03 | 3,282,343 |
+---------+----------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+
I though it was not recycled to scratch pool due to expiresin seconds.
So I updated the volume and set the volume retention to 3 seconds. After
that :
Pool: catalogo_BACK107001_incr
+---------+----------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+
| mediaid | volumename | volstatus | enabled | volbytes |
volfiles | volretention | recycle | slot | inchanger | mediatype |
voltype | volparts | lastwritten | expiresin |
+---------+----------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+
| 4 | CINTA-BACK107001-004 | Purged | 1 | 3,293,267 |
0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | File | 1 |
0 | 2022-06-01 13:00:03 | 0 |
+---------+----------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+
But still not being recycled. I tried setting the cache retetion to 0
but already was that way. Have set the volume status to recycled. No
way...
If I launch a differential backup I never get the volume to return back
to the scratch pool. I have this volumes now :

Shouldn't it CINTA-BACK107001-004 return to scratch for later being able
to be reused in the differential pool?. I think I have read all the data
about recycling algorithm
(https://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html)
and... I think it should return back to scratch and then to
differential. Isn't it?
Thanks mates :)
