It doesn't address the issue that Bacula refuses to purge the volume I requested, and that it does not respond to the request with an appropriate (or any) error message - causing me to have to exit the interface so ungracefully - however it's done. Deann Mike Reinehr wrote: On Tuesday 06 De

OK, then tell me this: what is the difference between Recycle Oldest Volume and Recycle Current Volume? Is there any overlap in their functionality (if the oldest volume is the current volume)? What does "Current" mean, in this case? Currently in the tape drive? Here is the text from the manual

hi, Seems that I can't get recycling to work as expected. Somethimes I have to manually issue a 'mount' to make Bacula recycle the volume. After that, the jobs start running emediatly. Othertimes everything works as expected. Normaly, when the volum is recycled, I get this messages: 23-Nov 17:09

It will not ask to use a tape that is used, so I'm not sure what trouble you're running into. I'm assuming you are typing 'mount' after loading the desired tape? I have this happen all the time, and it's never asked me for a tape that was used. Incidentally, is Accepy Any Volume enabled?

Hi there, If bacula recycles a tape (and is then asking for it to be mounted), is it possible to convince it to use a different tape instead? I tried switching the tape it recycled status to used, but it doesn't seem to notice, and it just keeps requesting the original tape. What I would li

Hello, for a daily rotation I think that you may not lower the volume retention but limit the "volume use duration" to force bacula to use another tape every day. For example on my daily rotation I use : Volume Use Duration = 19 h And also Recycle Current Volume = yes; so if the volume in the tap
