Hi all,
I have problems in understanding how automatic recycling of tapes works.
My configuration uses a single tape drive and ten tapes. Five tapes are used
for every work day of an even week (labeled MON-E, TUE-E... FRI-E), the other
five for odd weeks (MON-O, TUE-O... FRI-O).
There are two pools, one for even weeks and one for odd weeks, both configures
with "Volume Retention = 8 days" and "Volume Use Duration = 23h".
Backups works fine. However, if after two weeks the tapes are to be reused, I
need to prune each tape manually - otherwise Bareos asks to mount a volume or
label a new one.
Parts of my bareos-dir.conf:

Is there something missing or wrong?
