Don't manually mark them as "Append" because that tells Bacula to wind forward to the end of the data before writing. The "Purge" operation just affects the catalog, not the data on the tape. If configured correctly, Bacula should automatically reuse tapes that have been marked as purged (either explicitly marked or implicitly after the retention time has expired). __Martin _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
