I know WHAT is happening, just not WHY
I am hoping someone sees something obviously bogus in here.
Extract from bacula-dir.conf :
Autochanger {
Name = "Disk01-Incremental-Autochanger"
Address = "<SD Server Address>"
Autochanger = "Disk01-Incremental-Autochanger"
Device = "Disk01-Incremental-Autochanger"
MaximumConcurrentJobs = 10
MediaType = "DiskVolume"
Password = <redacted>
SdPort = 9103
}
Autochanger {
Name = "Disk02-Incremental-Autochanger"
Address = "<SD Server Address>"
Autochanger = "Disk02-Incremental-Autochanger"
Device = "Disk02-Incremental-Autochanger"
MaximumConcurrentJobs = 10
MediaType = "DiskVolume"
Password = <redacted>
SdPort = 9103
}
Pool {
Name = "Incremental"
ActionOnPurge = Truncate
AutoPrune = yes
LabelFormat = "IncVol-"
MaximumVolumeBytes = 536870912000
MaximumVolume = 20
PoolType = "Backup"
PurgeOldestVolume = yes
Recycle = yes
Storage = "Disk01-Incremental-Autochanger","Disk02-Incremental-Autochanger"
StorageGroupPolicy = "FreeSpace"
VolumeRetention = 2 weeks
}
Extract from bacula-sd.conf :
Autochanger {
Name = "Disk01-Incremental-Autochanger"
ChangerCommand = "/dev/null"
ChangerDevice = "/dev/null"
Device =
"Disk01-Dev01-Incremental","Disk01-Dev02-Incremental","Disk01-Dev03-Incremental","Disk01-Dev04-Incremental","Disk01-Dev05-Incremental","Disk01-Dev06-Incremental","Disk01-Dev07-Incremental","Disk01-Dev08-Incremental","Disk01-Dev09-Incremental","Disk01-Dev10-Incremental"
}
Autochanger {
Name = "Disk02-Incremental-Autochanger"
ChangerCommand = "/dev/null"
ChangerDevice = "/dev/null"
Device =
"Disk02-Dev01-Incremental","Disk02-Dev02-Incremental","Disk02-Dev03-Incremental","Disk02-Dev04-Incremental","Disk02-Dev05-Incremental","Disk02-Dev06-Incremental","Disk02-Dev07-Incremental","Disk02-Dev08-Incremental","Disk02-Dev09-Incremental","Disk02-Dev10-Incremental"
}
Device {

AlwaysOpen = yes
ArchiveDevice = "/backups/Disk01/INCREMENTAL"
AutomaticMount = yes
DeviceType = File
LabelMedia = yes
MaximumConcurrentJobs = 5
MediaType = "DiskVolume"
RandomAccess = yes
RemovableMedia = no
}
... repeat 39 for times changing Name and ArchiveDevice as needed
Finally, the bacula.log extract showing the error:

=============================
The volume's path is /backups/Disk02/INCREMENTAL/IncVol-0007
but Bacula is looking to write to /backups/Disk01/INCREMENTAL/IncVol-0007
Here is the problem.
The same line
StorageGroupPolicy = "FreeSpace"
is in each JobDefs resource in bacula-dir.conf
Does anyone see a stupid mistake made on my part ?
Does anyone see a way past this mess ?
Thanks in advance.
