Hello.
I've been using bacula for a long long time, but I can't seem to
understand why, in a specific installation, volumes are recycled before
I think they should.
The only difference from several other installation, is the use of S3
cloud plugin.
So:
_ Bacula version is 11.0.6;
_ excerpts from bacula-dir.conf:
Client {
Name=...
Address=...
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password="..."
File Retention=3 months
Job Retention=3 months
AutoPrune = yes
}
Pool {
Name = Full
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G
Maximum Volume Jobs=1
Label Format = "Full"
Volume Retention=3 months
Cache retention=31 days
Action On Purge=Truncate
}
_ from the DB:
select volumename,volretention/60/60/24 from media where volumename
like 'Full%';
volumename | ?column? ------------+----------
Full0021 | 90
Full0025 | 90
Full0026 | 90
Full0117 | 90
Full0112 | 90
Full0152 | 90
Full0111 | 90
Full0116 | 90
_ yesterday I had:
ls -lt|grep Full
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Aug 30 22:45 Full0111
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 25600 Aug 8 22:45 Full0026
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Aug 7 22:45 Full0025
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 21504 Aug 4 23:53 Full0116
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Aug 4 22:33 Full0112
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Jul 9 22:45 Full0021
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 25088 Jul 4 22:45 Full0152
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Jul 3 22:45 Full0117
_ today the volumes from July were recycled:
ls -lt | grep Full
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 21504 Sep 1 23:55 Full0152
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Sep 1 22:33 Full0117
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Aug 30 22:45 Full0111
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 25600 Aug 8 22:45 Full0026
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Aug 7 22:45 Full0025
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 21504 Aug 4 23:53 Full0116
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Aug 4 22:33 Full0112
drwxr----- 2 bacula bacula 512 Jul 9 22:45 Full0021
Any idea why this happens?
P.S.
In the last job's mail I see:
There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "Full0117". Marking it purged.
So it seems job retention is the problem, not volume retention.
