Dear All,
I am running Bacula Community Edition 5.2.13 on Solaris 10 x86. I am
trying to understand why Bacula doesn't seem to recycle when I think it
should.
I have recently moved to a configuration where each Volume contains
only a single Job. I had envisioned that when the Volume Retention period
was reached, the Volume would be set to Recycle and reused. Instead what
I'm finding is that Bacula is taking much longer to Recycle Volumes than I
think it should and is instead creating more new Volumes.
This is a relevant Pool Config
Pool {
Name = Archimedes-FS_Full
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = Archimedes_Full_Files
Recycle = Yes
AutoPrune = Yes
Volume Retention = 14d
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Label Format = Archimedes-FS_Full-
Next Pool = Archimedes_LTO5_Tapes
}
This is a standard Job Config using Volumes in that Pool
Job {
Name = "ar-web1_Daily_Disk"
Type = Backup
Client = ar-web1.archimedes
FileSet = "Archimedes_Solaris_FileSystems"
Schedule = "Incr_0300_Wed_Full"
Pool = Archimedes-FS_Incr
JobDefs = "DiskDefs"
Full Backup Pool = Archimedes-FS_Full
Incremental Backup Pool = Archimedes-FS_Incr
Messages = Standard
Write Bootstrap = "/mnt/backup1/archimedes/bacula/bootstrap/%n.bsr"
}
This is the Client definition
Client {
Name = ar-web1.archimedes
Address = 10.0.6.101
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = Mentora_Catalog
Password = "m7pJY91cdgeYjknTffyj3/vBd+vpRzh6briOhZV5yWWN"
AutoPrune = yes
}
As you can see, the only place where I define retention period is in the
Pool. Nothing should be overriding this. Yet, here are the Volumes. I can
see that the period between LastWritten is 7 days, coinciding with my Full
Backup Schedule, however Bacula should not be retaining 4 weeks of these
files, only 2 (14d)

Can anyone explain what is going on?
Thank you,
