Hello Ryan, I'm not sure of my understanding of "recycle oldest" but I think it permit to reuse a volume wich all jobs and files are out of retention regardless of the volume retention. So, it is useless if VolRetention I would like to echo this question... not sure why both of those steps > would

Hello Kern, I've done some new tests with volumes files and I have the good behaviour. I don't really understand what happened with the tapes, I will test again. In any case, I think the volumes taken from Scratch Pool should not only take the Volume Retention of the new pool, they should also ta

I agree with you about moving 8 before 7. But from my test, I think that 8 is currently between 3 and 4. There is something I don't understand : Is there something the 9 can do that the 4 couldn't ? (ie : prune oldest is included in prune all, no ?) Ludovic. Kern Sibbald wrote: On Monday 28

This is maybe more readable : I have a pool with two full tapes : Tape_1|Full|1 week|Recycle=yes|LastWritten=5/11/2005 Tape_2|Full|1 week|Recycle=yes|LastWritten=23/11/2005 And a Scratch Pool with Tape_3. If I run a job, this is what happen : Tape_1|Full|1 week|Recycle=yes|LastWritten=5/11/2
