Maybe the error message is telling you the truth. I mean Volume Retention time has not expired. post the output of list media for the volume in question. Volume Retention in seconds is not summing up very well. Perhaps you believe me, I checked Volume Retention, Use duration, Expire and Last Written for the tapes in bat. Right now, I cannot deliver the requested information, I cleared the tape. Next week I'm going to do further tests. By theory this should work flawless: Tape FridayInc5: Volume Retention: 25 days Last Written: 2014-06-01 Expire: 2014-06-26 Use duration: 5 days Vol. Bytes: 38 GB Vol. Status: Append Recycle: Yes Also remember that changing the pool definition in bacula-dir.conf does nothing to change the retention period of existing volumes. You need to reload the config in bconsole then update pool from resource and then update all volumes in pool Thanks, I know, did and checked afterwards.

[Bacula-users] Problem with automatic tape recycling
Hi there,
I'd like to recycle our 4 weekly (differential) backup tapes automatic,
but it does not work. I'd appreciate any help.
After studying the documentation and the error reports, I have no clue
what's the problem.
My relevant Config:
bacula-dir 5.2.6:
Pool {
AutoPrune = yes
Recycle Current Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 1
Volume Use Duration = 5 days
Volume Retention = 25 days
...
}
As far as I know the directive Volume Use Duration in the pool should
overwrite any given longer periods in other directives.
I receive this error info:
Cannot automatically recycle current volume, as it still contains
unpruned data or the Volume Retention time has not expired
I don't get this, with the directives AutoPrune and Volume Retention
this should not happen...
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Helge
