Dear list, I got a bacula setup with a number of tapes that are switched on a daily basis during the week. During the weekend the same tape stays in. There are about 11 tapes in the rotation (but this shouldn't matter).
The desired behaviour is that bacula should not demand other tapes and always use the inserted one no matter what. It should not matter if the tape is not already labelled, used or if any other Volume is marked as recycled. If the tape is not labelled yet, it should be labelled. My approach (of which I'm not sure if it does work as intented) is to set AutoPrune to 'no' (so old volumes don't get pruned and purged automatically and are not chosen over the inserted volume). Second I set VolumeRetention to a small time span, say '10 days', and Recycle Current Volume to 'yes' so that the current tape will be recycled and used (my rotation is longer than 10 days, so this should suffice). Is this approach correct? Is there any other method to achieve the desired behaviour? Cheers, Philipp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
