Hello,

 

I am backing up to disk and I am having some issues with a particular pool.
Mail-diff-pool:

Pool {

  Name = MailPool-Diff-tape

  Pool Type = Backup

  Recycle = yes

  AutoPrune = yes

  Volume Retention = 1 months

  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1

  Label Format = "H22-Diff-"

  Maximum Volumes = 3

  Storage = H23-FileStore-diff

}

 

The idea is to do a differential backup every weekend where the full backup
doesn't run, this should be 3 weekends. Each of those weekends should use 1
tape.

 

The problem I am having is that it seems like the first time the
differential backup ran, it created file sizes (for the vtapes) of 4.2GB,
4.8GB and 22GB. Now that the differential backup is to run again, it used
ALL 3 vtapes for 1 job. In the job log I can see each tapes being purged and
recycled in order to be used, but then it just stops once it fills up the
last tape.

 

Are the file based backups supposed to increase and decrease the file size
for the vtape depending on what's used for a particular run or once the file
size is set there is no resize for them??

 

Thanks for any info.
