 Hello,

 I'm having problems backing up to files in a hard drive.

 I'm using 3 pools: full, differential and incremental. All of the
 with:
 maximum volume jobs = 1
 Volume Retention = 1 month
 AutoPrune = yes
 Recycle = yes
 MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
 RecycleOldestVolume = yes

 Full Pool (1st of each month): Maximum volumes = 2
 Differential Pool (15th of each month):Maximum volumes = 2
 Incremental Pool (not 1st or 15th): Maximun Volumes = 45

 My problem is that the incremental pool does not grow above 30
 volumes. As I
 have read the number of volumes should be increasing till Maximum
 volumes limit
 is reached, right?

 Incremental pool:
 # show pool=XXXIncremental
 Pool: name=XXXIncremental PoolType=Backup
   use_cat=1 use_once=0 cat_files=1
   max_vols=48 auto_prune=1 VolRetention=1 month 1 day
   VolUse=0 secs recycle=1
 LabelFormat=${Job}_Inc_${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Year}
   CleaningPrefix=*None* LabelType=0
   RecyleOldest=1 PurgeOldest=0
   MaxVolJobs=1 MaxVolFiles=0 MaxVolBytes=0
   MigTime=0 secs MigHiBytes=0 MigLoBytes=0

 Thanks.

If I read that right, you have retention set to 1 month as well, so
it will recycle after one month! Recycling happens at the first
limit reached, so 1 month happens before 45 volumes.

Do you change some Pool parameters without update pool from bconsole?

this : max_vols=48 differs your Incremental pool config.

If I'm correct, it is probably due to volume retention of 1 month -
after one month, the oldest volume will be recycled. 

It will never go *above* 45, even if you increase retention (in that
case it will stop and ask operator to insert/label new empty volumes)

Note that retention does not directly influence data on tape, but
just the catalog database; so you could still bscan(8) old tapes and
get data back in the catalog - it is only when those volumes finally
get used again that the old data will be destroyed.

I thought new files were created until Maximum volumes limit was reached.

I will modify the volume retention.

Thanks.

They were. But the old files were at the same time deleted according
to retention period, so you you maximum volume limit was never
actually reached.
