Hi,
I purged some volumes of a failed backup and manually changed the state to
recycle. Now I see this in the bacula log:

I would like to know what the best to do is. Today, in my company, backups are
scheduled like this: Full every Sunday and Incremental backups other days. But
resources becomes fully, I need to configure Bacula to take less space. But
also I need to preserve data safe. So I would like
Hi everybody.
I've recently upgraded to bacula 2.4.4. I'm experiencing a strange problem
while running jobs with modified run time (not now):
after execution time has passed, if I run a director status I see something
like this:

I don't see the need for this feature. With the current code, there is no
harm if the tape is marked used while a job is running, so please explain
why this feature is needed.

First of all, depending on your situation, I find that a full backup
once a month, and weekly differentials, as you suggested, can be a
pretty good schedule.
When you run out of backup space, ultimately the problem isn't the
schedule but interaction between schedule and retention times. If you

I have also to fix problem about jobs which are launched simultaneously. Jobs

yes, I labeled my two tapes 'DO0101L3' and 'DO0102L3' as shown in my Kyocera
prescribe script. An USB hand held scanner is able to read the code.

Update:
Last night Bacula insisted on using volume Bacula_Daily-Maandag-Tape.
I was able to manipulate it (can such actions be please documented by
samples in the manual?) so that it would use the proper volume, namely
Bacula_Daily-Dinsdag-Tape. This resulted in the current media list:

Thank you Kern for responding. I think you are saying if I can find the
right Debian test or development repository I will have a working
version of bacula. I will look around.
Well, every Bacula in Debian works. I guess you meant one with

When I have a tape mounted, list media in bconsole shows the tape as being in
a slot. mtx does not. Is this normal for bacula, or do I have a configuration
issue? (update slots has been run, and status storage shows the tapes as
mounted in the drives.)

Historically it has been my experience that the package maintainer for
Bacula in Debian has only packaged release code. Looking at

version (2.4.4-1) is the same as Lenny (testing). There would be no way

I think many users would be glad if migration jobs from tape to tape
(e.g. for encrypting the data on the tapes) could be done with a single

We're trying to use Migration to stage our database WAL logs on disk and then

them to tape when I run my Migrate job. I noticed some weird Cannot open

I rotate sets of tapes each day. I would like the last tape used in the

Did you mean to have three storage daemons in the first place? It is
perfectly legit, but seems rather unusual.
If you did: you only posted the bacula-sd.conf from your main machine.
Since you defined SDs on LAB1Storage and LAB3Storage, you need to post
their corresponding bacula-sd.conf
I think I'll leave the question of upgrading to others, but from what I
heard here in the past, the general recommendation seems to be that you
really should be upgrading. It's just that I'm not all that familiar
with the version history, and don't know how important an upgrade from
2.0.3
I would recommend that you simply change your naming scheme. If you call
a tape Monday Tuesday etc. you will always be fighting bacula,
because it doesn't understand the words and reuses tapes whenever it
feels appropriate. So even though you may have fixed the Tuesday tape

I think what he wants is a way to make sure a tape is closed to, say, start a

Pretty easy to do with different pools/schedules/jobs actually.

I've run into a similar problem that he seems to talk about. When I
started suing Bacula, I set Volume Use Duration to 24 hours for my

and not have to worry about mixing months. Well, our fulls took longer
than 24 hours to

I have a hunch that what he is really getting at is two separate
features. I could be way off base, my mind reading machine is currently

He would like a volume marked used not at the beginning of a backup job,
but only after the backup job has successfully completed. That way,
