Greetings,
I'm new to Bacula, and haven't used tape based backups before (though
I've used BackupPC for many years.) I'm running Bacula 11.0.6 on Debian 11.
Currently I'm backing up about 30 servers to Bacula, and this seems to
be working well; however I've filled up my 17TB of disk, and backups are
now failing citing that there are no available volumes to append to.
I've spent the morning searching for various storage space management
strategies within Bacula, but not finding anything useful. I suspect my
failure to find useful information may be that I don't know enough about
what needs to happen to properly phrase the questions I need to be
asking - results have centered around truncating volumes, but all
command just return essentially 'nothing to truncate'.
Speculating this has to do with retention, I turned my retention for
both Jobs and Files down to 7 days, but still 'nothing to truncate' is
the output.
Specifically running the bconsole command "prune expired volume yes"
results in all Volumes reporting "Found no Job associated with the
Volume to prune", and the bconsole command "purge volume action=truncate
allpools storage=File1" reports "No Volumes found to perform the command"
Adding storage isn't a tenable solution (all disk bays are full), so I
would appreciate any specific recommendations for storage management
strategies.
Thanks,
--
