Hi folks,
I was wondering about the best way to tell bacula that volumes not
present in the changer are not to be recycled / used to avoid operator
intervention. We store some tapes (usually 3 out of 8) off-site, but
those volume records will remain in the database, so when the time
comes for bacula to use a new volume when all are full, it should
recycle the oldest volume *in the changer*, not in the volume pool
which quite likely is stored miles away.
Would I need to define a "maximum number of volumes" setting in the
pool to accomplish this? Here's the pool definition:
Pool {
Name = Default
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the
pool
}
Thanks in advance for your help,
Uwe
