Yes, I have volumes with volstatus=Append, so I guess recycling will not happen
just yet.
What I dont (yet) understand, is that I have volumes with volstatus=Full, which
were last written to in the June 2016 timeframe. I would have thought, that
with the pool definition Volume Retention time of 181 days, that after 6 months
and one day after the tape was last written, it would automagically get purged,
and be eligible for recycling, but this doesn't seem to happen, and I cannot
figure out why. Should I lower the retention time on the volumes in question
(its not a real tape robot anyway) and see if it gets purged automatically. Can
I do that directly in the database (I dont want to change all volumes, just a
single one to see if I can get bareos to purge the volume)
It dawns on my that I forgot to post the typical client setup, in case that is
what is affecting my recycling (I dont think so). Anyway, the typical
client.conf looks thusly:
Client {
Name = client-fd
Address = xxxxx
Password = "mytopsecretpassword"
File Retention = 60 days
Job Retention = 4 months
AutoPrune = yes
}
Job {
Name = "client"
Type = Backup
Client = client-fd
FileSet = "client"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = File
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"
Spool Attributes = yes
Full Backup Pool = DiskFull
Differential Backup Pool = DiskDifferential
Incremental Backup Pool = DiskIncremental
}
