Anyway, setting them [tapes in a pool] to status "Archive" either
manually or using a script should do what you need - it marks them as
unavailable for Bacula, and you can easily track them in the catalog.

I'll do it that way, but I'm still curious, why this option is marked
as not yet implemented. It seems that you use it that way, thus I hope
bacula honors this flag and won't overwrite my tapes by accident.
I don't think that the Archive flag is intended for the use you want.
I think that it's supposed to indicate that the volume entry will
be removed from the catalog when the volume is unmounted.
I don't recall where I saw it and I just searched the manual and
couldn't find it so I could be wrong about this. However, to be on the
safe side, I don't think that you should use it. Instead use settings
similar to the following for your archive pool.
Pool {
Name = MY_ARCHIVE
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
Auto Prune = no
Volume Retention = 30 years
Accept Any Volume = yes
}
Also, in the definition of the client, set "Auto Prune = no". This will
ensure that job and file-entries are not removed from the catalog.
If you use the same client for non-archive jobs, you can specify
"Prune Jobs = yes" and "Prune Files = yes" in the job-resource.
Hope this helps,
Kelvin
