[Bacula-users] Daily Overwrite

[Edward Dam]

Good morning,   I am new to Bacula and this list. I really like the amount of data reports you can get from the SQL database, but I have a problem, and I hope someone can help.   What I have is as follows:   10 tapes, in a 2 week rotation, labelled as follows   Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Monday2 Tuesday2 Wednesday2 Thursday2 Friday2   I have the retention set to 10 days.   For the first 2 weeks (first run of each tape) - all was ok.   When Monday was put in again, on the first day of the 3rd week, it didn't back up to it. It was requesting a tape from Tuesday2 or something. The backup hasn't worked since, it always wants a different tape than what's in there.   What I want to do it this:   Every day, come in, eject the previous night's tape and throw the current day's tape in. That night, the backup does a complete (full) backup to that tape, regardless of what tape is in the drive.   What settings do I need to set in the config files to make this happen? Thanks a lot for your help
