Hi,
I'm using Bacula 5.0.3 on Ubuntu 9.04
I have bacula configured to cancel duplicate jobs, as some jobs (especially
during monthly full backups) are not finished before the following day
backup starts.
Today two identical jobs started within an hour of each other one client.
*llist jobid=15954

Hi,
I'm using bacula 5.0.3 on ubuntu 9.04.
I want to know if its possible to find the sql query (or whatever is
used) that bacula runs when it needs to prune and recycle a volume.
I would like this to run once a night, for each of my disk pools (say
via a runscript), to prune them once their rete

Hi,
I use Bacula 5.0.3 on ubuntu 9.04
I backup from a number of clients (windows and linux) to a disk raid
and then migrate to tape afterwards.
I am concerned that my retention is not working properly.
This is my client config for one client:

Larry,
I have the same issue as you.
I use the:
Maximum Volumes = 30

this limit, rather than let the space run out.
I'm not keen on the solution, as it's a fine balance between ensuring
that it has enough volumes to complete the

The length of time taken to migrate from disk to tape is causing

Hello,
I recently switched from copy jobs to migrate jobs functionality, and
I am concerned about retention.

I have 4 disk pools (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) and a matching 4
tape pools.
The disk pool retentions are set to:

I definitely would really like to see the ability to automatically
purge volumes also, and leave it to the user to decide if they want to
preserve the data as long as possible.

Hi Martin,
I read that, and understand it doesn't run automatically, but must be
called from a runscript, or whatever.
However, my understanding is that the volumes need to be marked as
purged before this feature will truncate them?
It does not purge them, but truncates any which have a status of

Hi Phil,
Here is the pool definitions I'm using.
Is there some way I can get the entire "disk" pool volumes purged when
they expire, so they are all truncated and all that space is released.
I don't need them once they are copied to tape. Would a migrate job
instead of a copy job work better in
retention periods have expired. I have
monthly disk volumes i need to recover the space from for subsequent
daily and weekly jobs to use.
How can i get bacula to purge these so they can be auto truncated.
Thank you.
