Hi all, I'm new to Bacula and I've inherited and old setup that seems to be working well, however in my attempt to understand this software I've hit a snag. Our system uses daily tapes that we load each morning, evey month we get dinged for a monthly tape and the same for a yearly. My question is going to sound simplistic but how does Bacula know which tape it's looking for? I'm scouring my configs and I see two pools, one named file, one named tapes. If I look at the volumes in the tape pool I can clearly see all of my tapes in there (they all have a status of 'used')... I see we have some schedules defined, but no where in there does it say. "Use tape xyz for daily, and xyza for weekly" if you understand what I mean. I can't determine how on one specific day it's looking for, let's say...this year's yearly tape. The reason I ask is recently we had an issue where it was prompting us in the middle of the week for an old yearly tape. I had no clue why, bit it wanted is to put that tape in. When. I look in the pool tapes....I see that yearly tape, it's an old one from several years ago and it's staus is 'recycle' which I'm certain is the problem, but still doesn't explain how bacula decided it wanted that particular tape.
Hope this was clear. Bacula version: 9.4.2 Thanks
