Hello,
I'm trying to make Bacula automatically create a new volume (file) after a
volume has already 5 jobs.
After the 5 jobs, the volume still increasing the size and not create another
volume.
There is my pool config.:
Pool {
Name = Test
Pool Type = Backup
LabelFormat = "CATALOG-"
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 0 day
Maximum Volume Jobs = 5
Maximum Volumes = 5
}
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = "C:\\Tmp"
LabelMedia = yes # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes
AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = no
}
I already run pool update in bconsole after the changes, but still the same.
Thanks for help!
