Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello. I am sorry, but this is actually not at all, what I want. I took some time to think about how to explain all this better... So I have two drives: and I am using a shell script to create a new Volume on every month. This script is executed by a bacula job. has run out of space now,

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello. I see that I did not use "Purge Migration Job = yes", That should explain, while the old volumes still exist fully. Sorry for the very rough question. I will try to make the scenario a bit more understandable: On the hard drive we have on site, a new volume is created every month,

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello, again. As a quick additional question: I used to create one volume per month, starting with a full backup. Is there any way how I can migrate the data to create the exact same structure? E.g. 5 old volumes = 5 new volumes Regards, Florian S. Am 19.05.2016 um 14:20 schrieb Florian

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello. After a lot of preparing the migration of the first set of data with migration jobs went smoothly. The size matches and when doing a restore the new volume is addressed. I noticed that the old volumes still exist though. Can I remove them now? If so: Is the delete option okay (via bat)

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello Ana and Kern I know that migration Jobs can be used to move volumes to another Storage, but I guess is a lost of time using it if I will just replace the old disk for a new one with more capacity. In my previous example I said I have 2 storages/disks, so I have volumes in both disks and I

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello Wanderei, Well, you simply:  "mv /old/path/ /new/path". which will essentially do a cp followed by an rm if the old and new paths are on different devices, otherwise it is a sort of directory entry change. If you start changing your

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello Wanderlei and Patti, I think that the migration jobs were designed to accomplish this also. You can configure a migration job to migrate all your volumes from a pool (associated to your old storage device) to another one (associated to your new storage device). Also, if dealing with disk

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

I concur with Wanderlei. Another aspect of moving volumes between storage devices is the need to change the mediatype. Bacula bconsole does not provide a command to change the mediatype. Patti From: Wanderlei Huttel > Date:

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello Kern I understand your concerns about make changes by hand in bacula database, but it wouldn't be interesting create an option in update to move volumes to another Storage? An exemple: you can have 2 disks with 1TB (everyone with one storage) and you will change for a new one of 4TB. In

Re: [Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello, I strongly encourage users to use Bacula bconsole commands to accomplish *all* modifications of the catalog database.  Making changes by hand using SQL will quite often lead to inconsistencies in the catalog that can come back to haunt you. In

[Bacula-users] How to properly remove volumes in regards to the catalog?

Hello, bacula community. The harddrive my bacula system is using to store its volumes is reaching its maximum capacity, so I had the following plan for my network: I want to manually move the old volumes onto an external harddrive and keep that somewhere else. Now what i want to ask is: Does
