Hello Users,
I've experienced some strange problems with the "Recycling" on my Bacula.
For example, I have a pool to my Full Backups where I have one different
tape for each weekend in the month. Well, on the second week I've used
FW2-001 with Volume Retention of 27 days = 2332800 seconds and at this
weekend (4th week) I've put the FW4-001 and Bacula Recycled FW2-001 even
with your VolRetention not expired. My file and job retention are greater
than volume retention as on the Pool as the Client Resource.
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+--------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles |
VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten
|
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+--------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
6 | FW2-001 | Used | 1 | 1
| 0 | 2332800 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
LTO-4 | 2011-09-12 09:10:13
In the Official Documentation it says the following:
"Prune volumes applying Volume retention period (Volumes with VolStatus
Full, Used, or Append are pruned). Note, even if all the File and Job
records are pruned from a Volume, the Volume will not be marked Purged until
the Volume retention period expires. "
So...Bacula couldn't do such thing with my volume FW2-001 so that it wasn't
expired.
For assurance, I've updated "All Volumes from All Pools" today after
checking the conf files. But I've done this before and I'm still with
problems. I've set up a scheme where I just have to change tapes without
none intervention via console, but with such problems, I'm having to do
Bacula chose the right tapes manually.
Everything was working perfectly until my tape FW5-001 to expire and Bacula
to try use it instead the FW2-001, because FW5-001 is for the 5th week on
the month and not all months have the 5th week, so I should have disabled it
after the job, but I didn't notice in time. Being this volume older than
FW2-001 and Expired obviously, Bacula chose it. So I've tried a Bscan on the
FW5-001 to recreate the Catalog (more because I wanted to test the Bscan)
and after that the things started to goes wrong.
Some ideas for this problem? I know this is a "little bit" confused :)
Thanks.
