[Bacula-users] Volume confusion
Hi all. I've been using Bacula for a little over a year now, and I
still don't understand something. Here's a snip of parts from my
config:
Pool {
Name = Server1
Use Volume Once = yes
Pool Type = Backup
LabelFormat = Server1
AutoPrune = yes
VolumeRetention = 8d
Maximum Volumes = 9
Recycle = yes
}
Storage {
Name = Server1
Address = x.x.x.x
SDPort = 9103
Password =
Device = Server1
Media Type = File
}
I wanted each file to be used only once so I can delete one backup if
I needed space in a pinch. I thought that one backup would take one
volume, but this isn't the case. I've got several backups for various
clients that take multiple volumes. Why is this? Is there anyway to
predict this or prevent this from happening?
Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, Use Volume Once is deprecated. Use Maxiumum Volume
Jobs = 1.

What does bacula print in the log when a single job takes multiple volumes?
It should say why it needs the next volume.
