Hi,
I'm learning to use bacula. For years I'm using (now) Symantec
Backup-Exec, so my views come from this.
My setup : a backup-server with as backup-device a REV-drive, running
bacula-dir, bacula-fd and bacula-sd and some servers needing backup,
running bacula-fd. I want the backup operator to just push the button of
the REV-drive to remove the disk to replace it. Of course when there are
problems, more action is needed.
I set up some jobs (full backup) that run fine, but I experience
unexpected things with my Volumes.
If any of those problems are documented, please say so, a pointer would
be appreciated.
My first problem : I backed up too much for one disk, to see what
happens. Well, bacula reported the disk full, but then created another
Volume on the disk, because there was enough place to make the "label".
Then it tried to use that volume, but it found the new volume to be
full, so bacula stopped with an error. Can this be avoided ? I only want
one volume on the disk.
A more troublesome problem is that in the previous situation the "Run
After Job" scipt was not executed (unmount the device). Maybe I found a
config-option that takes care of this : Requires Mount, with it's
related settings ?
Another problem I have is this : I want to keep my backups at least 5
days, but I have 7 disks. Yesterday I put in my 6th disk, but this
morning I found that bacula made a new "rev-0001" volume, so now I have
two disks with "rev-0001" on it. I expected bacula to find an empty
disk, make a label, etc. until it finds a volume that can be
overwritten. Is there a solution ?
