Hello everyone.
I've been having a problem with Bacula with a Pool that rotates the tapes
daily, like that:
Pool {
Name = pool.inc.muitobaixo
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = st.tpa
Volume Use Duration = 1 day
Volume Retention = 1 day
Scratch Pool = scratch.tpa
RecyclePool = scratch.tpa
File Retention = 6 months
Job Retention = 6 months
Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
}
I actually don't know if this is happening with other Pool, I'll check it
later, but here are the volumes on this Pool:
*list volumes pool=pool.inc.muitobaixo

> Using Catalog "cat.default"

Ok, the Volume 000009L3 is marked as Recycle (since the Volume Retetion is 1
Day and it was last written five days ago), but why isn't it back to the
scratch.tpa Pool?
Let's see it further, lets purge it manually, right after I change it's
status to Used (I can't purge a volume with Recycle Status):
*purge volume pool=pool.inc.muitobaixo

Nothing happen, lets use the update command to force the Recycle Poll for
that Volume:
*update volume recyclepool=scratch.tpa

After set it's status back to Used (so we cant manually purge it):
*purge volume pool=pool.inc.muitobaixo

Now Bacula send it back to the scratch.tpa, but only I force it with the
update command before the purge... why? Isn't it setting the RecyclePool
properly from the configuration file? Does it have anything to do with the 1
day Volume Retention period?
Thanks!
