I have a simple volume recycle problem. I've searched posts and see similar
problems but have not found the answer.
I have a small system that backs up to a external USB hard drive. I can't
get bacula to overwrite/reuse a volume name on the physical device.
Details:
Pool {
Name = "RKSBackup"
PoolType = "Backup"
Recycle = "yes"
AutoPrune = "yes"
VolumeRetention = 7 days
RecycleOldestVolume = "yes"
PurgeOldestVolume = "yes"
Volume Use Duration = 6 days
LabelFormat = "Week-"
}
I recycle my backups every 4 weeks. My backup volumes are
Week-1,Week-2...Week-4.
At then end of Week-1 the next volume (Week-2) will be used and they just
keep rotating.... this works perfect.
Problem:
If there is not enough physical room on the USB hard drive to finish a
backup or start a new one then I'm prompted to mount a new volume. The only
way I've found to get around this problem is to manually delete the oldest
volume from the USB hard drive. I thought that is what the Recycle and
AutoPrune parameters would do. Looks like these parameters update the
catalog but they don't physically remove the data from the backup drive.
How do I tell Bacula to overwrite the actual data on the backup device?
Thanks,
Robert
