What I actually did was to select them in Baculum and purged them. Then they were in state “Purged”. Then next time a volume from this pool was needed, Baculum grabbed the first one and used it without problems. > On 1. Mar 2023, at 19:57, Bill Arlofski via Bacula-users > wrote: > > On 3/1/23

Re: [Bacula-users] What is 'voltype'?

2023-03-01 Thread Rob Gerber
Voltype is an arbitrary name given to a certain type of volume. It must be consistent across all bacula configuration files. For example in my setup I have "LTO8" as a voltype. This references my actual LTO 8 tapes, but I could have named them anything, like "George" or "duck". I kind of think tha

[Bacula-users] What is 'voltype'?

bconsole list volume displays a field called 'voltype'. What is this used for, and how can I set it? Searches in main.pdf dated 14 Sep 2022 for "voltype" and "Volume Type" both came up empty. I have a backup job that should run on a volume that has a voltype of 0, and it will not progress. I

Hi Alan, I'm resurrecting an old topic since recently upgrading from LTO-4 to LTO-8. The script read_attribute.pl posted under https://github.com/hreinecke/sg3_utils/issues/18 was running fine on my legacy LTO-4 system (sg3-utils 1.33). On LTO-8 (sg3-utils 1.45) it still mostly works but ret

I have a number of volumes with status 'Purged' or 'Recycle' that have no corresponding S3 directory. It appears to have been deleted from S3. If I do the bconsole command 'cloud upload allpools allfrompool storage=cloud-sd', the purged and recycle volumes fail to upload and report an upload error.

I do have a Scratch pool, but not a recycle pool. What should the recycle pool look like? Will it be used by Bacula automatically when it exists or do I have to make further configurations for that to happen? Pool { Name = "Scratch" PoolType = "Backup" } > On 1. Mar 2023, at 15:27, Pedro Ol

For Bacula to move the volumes to sracth pool we will need to have scratch pool defined on the pool client1 also for recycle pool. Regarding the error state volumes, if you dont need them and don’t have any data written in the filesystem then you could change the volume status to append or remove
