Hi all, First off I do not use tapes, but volumes created on disk. Let us assume that this is a new implementation. So no Volumes exists, now they must be created.
When the schedule executes (arguments sake 5 Jobs) Then the first Volume gets created as per the Label Format Value. But any subsequent job the Director reports that a an Appendable Volume is required. So... This forces me to create the additional Volumes Manually, and after the execution update the Volume Retention Period so that the volume would be pruned and recycled by the next execution run. Ie. MondayDocsPool > Client1DocsMonday, Client2DocsMonday, ... TuesdayDocsPool > Client1DocsTuesday, Client2DocsTuesday, ... WednesdayDocsPool > Client1DocsWednesday, Client2DocsWednesday, ... Client1DocsMonday would be created no problem but for Client2DocsMonday the director reports that a appendable volume is required. On this implementation I would have a backup for each client For every day of the week in a different pool (storage device and so location). Pool { Name = MondayDocs Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes Recycle Oldest Volume = yes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 7 days Volume Use Duration = 1 Maximum Volumes = 1 Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool Catalog Files = yes Label Format = "${Job}"_ } Etc, etc. 1. What changes do I need to make to the Pool definition to ensure that if a new volume is required for a backup that it would automatically be created ? Your help would be appreciated.
