>> do you write the new tape labels on the tape every time you put the new one in it?
Actually I don't. I just founded cleaner this labelling cleaner... >> or how do you read the tape label "manually"? I don't know, is it possible ? :) >> you could use "Day-" as label Format. Bacula will then append a number to it. or label them once manually. Yes I understood that bacula use to append a number to the label volumes, maybe this is my mistake cause I don't use it.. >> be sure to set Retention times on the pool (e.g. for your schedule maybe 18 days) and and a use duration (maybe 1 day as you change it on a daily basis). I know that my Retention times is wrong right now, but I'm just doing some test so I purge volumes manually. But Thanks for the use duration, I will set it up. Well, again, assuming that the volume is purged from the catalog, the tape is rewind and "woef-ed".. I still don't unterstand why bacula doesn't want to relabel the volume. I mean, the label format worked fine for the first backup but apparently there is no way to relabel the tape. Will it really fix the problem if I change the label format ?
