The problem in using the Scratch pool (which I regularly used with tape volumes) with file volumes, in general, is that I want to keep different namespaces for volumes for full backups and volumes for incremental backups. Apart from this, I cannot figure out how using the Scratch pool could help me right now to get rid of the volumes I need to delete from the filesystem in a short time. Thank you very much, anyway, regards! -- Andrea Brugiolo andrea.brugi...@unipd.it Universita` degli Studi di Padova http://www.unipd.it Centro di Ateneo per le Biblioteche https://bibliotecadigitale.cab.unipd.it ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Hi Andrea, You could take advantage of the Bacula Recycle and Scratch Pools. Scratch Pool, pre-created volumes The scratch pool is an excellent labour-saving feature. Rather than pre-assign all your volumes to the different backup pools, you can place all your volumes into the scratch pool, and configure your backup pools to take a new volume from the scratch pool when needed, and return expired volumes back to the scratch pool when recycled. This means your backup pools only ever contain full (or a single part-used) volumes. This is again useful when running low on disk space, since volumes no longer need to be manually moved and relabelled to make space elsewhere. https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION0022161 https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION0022160 Best Regards Pedro ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
