I've setup some backup jobs for some (mostly windows) client computer; i
mean 'client' as 'not always on'.
I've setup a job like this:
Job {
Name = FVG-SV-EEG
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Storage = SVPVE3FileMulti
Pool = FVG-SV-EEGFilePool
Messages = StandardClient
Schedule = WeeklyClient
Reschedule On Error = yes
Reschedule Interval = 30 minutes
Reschedule Times = 8
Max Run Sched Time = 8 hours
Accurate = yes
Backups To Keep = 10
Delete Consolidated Jobs = yes
Client = fvg-sv-eeg-fd
FileSet = SystemPlusStd
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/FVG-SV-EEG.bsr"
}
Because client are not always on, i've setup and aggressive reschedule,
waiting the system to go online.
Schedule is simply:
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyClient
Run = Incremental mon-fri at 8:00
Run = VirtualFull sun at 8:00
}
so (try to) do the backup on weekdays, consolidate the full on sunday.
The pool is like:
Pool {
Name = FVG-SV-EEGFilePool
Pool Type = Backup
NextPool = FVG-SV-EEGFilePool
Storage = SVPVE3FileMulti
Maximum Volume Jobs = 6
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Action On Purge = Truncate
}
EG, no volume retention (the default one, indeed) and a 'Maximum Volume
Jobs' to be able to move data in different volumes.
Every pool have 4 volumes (files), so i can have 6*4=24 jobs on the pool,
witha weekly 'virtual full' that reduce jobs to 10 consolidating them.
Setting up this, i've done some test in a lab setup and all work as
expected: i've done backups, consolidate them, jobs get purged on
consolidation and volumes with no jobs get purged too. All worked as
expected.
But reality hit me. ;-)
Typical situation now is:

EG, all volumes marked as 'Used' (so, at least for me, with 6 jobs inside),
terminated jobs scattered around different volumes, and backup clearly
'stalled'.
I've three question.
1) Volumes get marked 'Used' when they reach 6 jobs in a volume.
26-Apr 09:00 lnfbacula-dir JobId 20059: Max Volume jobs=6 exceeded. Marking
Volume "EEG004" as Used.
but get 'purged' only when there's no more jobs whithin? So if i scatter
jobs within volumes, i quickly exaust the volumes, right?
Also, even if i'm sure that volume X have less then 6 jobs, if i force it:
*update volume=EEG001 volstatus=Append
New Volume status is: Append
quickly bacula:
09-May 15:54 lnfbacula-dir JobId 0: Max Volume jobs=6 exceeded. Marking
Volume "EEG001" as Used.
put it on Used state.
2) There's some way i can get the 'jobs in volume X'? I can query jobs for
volume, but i've not found a way to query volumes for jobs
3) In this setup failed jobs make only noise; there's some way to delete/purge
failed jobs?
Or there's some way i can setup the 'RunScript {}' job property to delete
failed jobs?
Thanks.
