okay, i think it's time to bug you guys here with this ...
i though i had figured bacula configuration out for my need but i guess
i was wrong.
yesterday it tried to append to a volume that should have been recycled
... ^^
thus failing misserably because the volume was almost full.
now the question is what did i do wrong there ?
weired thing is it worked a couple times already.
i did set recycle flag to yes,
volume retention to 6 days,
maximum use duration to 6 days
and i change the tape every day ..
any flaws there ?
my setup for 2 HD storages where always the older one gets recyled is
working like a charm ^^
That sounds like the FAQ "How does recycling work?" ;-)
The point is, recycling is only triggered when bacula actually needs a
new volume. In your case, I could continue to use the existing one, did
so, and in that process set the "LastWritten" timestamp. Only when this
tape was full, bacula looked for a new one. Naturally, It wouldn't
recycle the tape it just used because that was written on immediately
before.
If you actually want recycling to happen before a job starts you could
use a script to trigger pruning as a run-before script or in an admin
job, I think.
