Follow-up: I think I found the problem and either fixed it or found a
work-around. I think I inadvertently moved the volumes out of their
native pool when I used bweb.pl (web interface) to manually purge
volumes. Somehow the volumes got moved to the 'Default' pool, instead
of their job-specific pool... maybe because the JobDefs specified 'Pool
= Default'... not sure.
So, to be safe, I added "Recycle Pool = <job-specific-pool>" to every
pool definition. Now bacula recycles expired volumes correctly. Here's
an example. Hope this helps...
Job {
Name = "clone"
Client = clone-fd
Storage = cloneFile
Schedule = "WednesdaySchedule"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
FileSet = "RootFS-clone"
Full Backup Pool = "clone-Full"
Differential Backup Pool = "clone-Diff"
}
Pool {
# weekly full backups
Name = "clone-Full"
====> RecyclePool = "clone-Full" <==================
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Retention = 1 weeks 5 days
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Label Format = "clone-Full-"
}
Pool {
# daily differential backups
Name = "clone-Diff"
====> RecyclePool = "clone-Diff" <==================
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1;
Volume Retention = 5 days
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Label Format = "clone-Diff-"
}
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Pool = Default
FileSet = "RootFS"
Schedule = "DefaultSchedule"
Messages = Standard
Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/%c_%n.bsr"
Priority = 10
}
