Thank you Josh and Radosław for your additional responses.
But in this case (for a Failed job due to bacula machine crash), restart
is the same as (re)run the job, right ?
And thus, I come back to my main question (from my initial post): how to
properly free up the space written by the Failed job (more than 3TB) on
the volumes in order to be reused ?
As a reminder, during this writing :
- the first used volume became Full (it already contained data correctly
written by the previous successfully completed job)
- and continued writing on another volume, before the machine crashed
(this volume is now used for the restart job)
This is why (in a previous try) I did my tests with the purge command
for this jobID (which presumably hadn't purged anything), and delete
command this jobID which worked to remove this jobID informations in the
catalog. But not to free up space written by this jobID on volumes.
In this case, what is the theoretical difference between purge and delete ?
I also wanted to use the Action On Purge = Truncate feature for both
volumes before initiating the purge of this jobID, but since purge
doesn't seem to do anything for this jobID, then I'm instead wondering
if this feature (or another equivalent) would also work for the delete
command (which it seemed to work in my previous try)?
Sorry if my questions are too basic, but I haven't really found a clear
answer in the manuals for these points.
Have a good day,
Best regards
Dan

Instead, the Bacula server machine itself crashed, so it cannot
determine where to restart and did not retain any cached/spooled data.
Yes, exactly. I did miss this very important information in the
original post. It changes everything!
But the other statements about (not) purging files and job info are
still valid.
