I think this is the last little niggling detail on my bacula setup.
I do a 'Full' backup on Friday's and differential backup on
Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs.
A 'Full' backup requires 1 whole tape + part of a second backup tape. No
big deal except that I must manually mount the second tape.
from today's log...
20-Jul 11:00 SRV1: Start Backup JobId 136,
Job=SRV1Backup.2007-07-20_11.00.00

20-Jul 13:08 SRV1: End of Volume "1_Friday_Week_2" at 25:7055 on device

20-Jul 13:08 SRV1: Recycled volume "2_Friday_Week_2"
20-Jul 13:08 SRV1: Please mount Volume "2_Friday_Week_2" on Storage
Device "DDS-4" (/dev/nst0) for Job SRV1Backup.2007-07-20_11.00.00
20-Jul 13:32 SRV1: Recycled volume "2_Friday_Week_2" on device
"DDS-4" (/dev/nst0), all previous data lost.
20-Jul 13:32 SRV1: New volume "2_Friday_Week_2" mounted on device
"DDS-4" (/dev/nst0) at 20-Jul-2007 13:32.
20-Jul 13:57 SRV1: Job write elapsed time = 02:33:29, Transfer rate =
3.301 M bytes/second
So it automatically 'purges' both 1_Friday_Week_2 and 2_Friday_Week_2
when it starts up and finds 'expired' tape 1_Friday_Week_2 already in
the drive and begins backing up. Then the tape fills and it sends me an
e-mail asking for 2_Friday_Week_2. I have to manually eject
1_Friday_Week_2 and insert 2_Friday_Week_2 but it won't begin using
2_Friday_Week_2 until I open bconsole and issue a 'mount' command. This
is unfriendly for those times when other people have to insert the 2nd
tape on a Friday.
my 'sd' configuration...
Device {
Name = DDS-4 #
Media Type = DDS-4
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = no;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
}
my pool definition for 'Fridays'
Pool {
Name = WeeklyPool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 19d
Volume Use Duration = 4d
Maximum Volume Jobs = 5
}
