Hi all,
First off I do not use tapes, but volumes created on disk.
Let us assume that this is a new implementation. So no
Volumes exists, now they must be created.
When the schedule executes (arguments sake 5 Jobs)
Then the first Volume gets created as per the
Label Format Value. But any subsequent job the
Director reports that a an Appendable Volume is required.
So... This forces me to create the additional Volumes
Manually, and after the execution update the
Volume Retention Period so that the volume would
be pruned and recycled by the next execution run.
Ie.
MondayDocsPool Client1DocsMonday, Client2DocsMonday, ...
TuesdayDocsPool Client1DocsTuesday, Client2DocsTuesday, ...
WednesdayDocsPool Client1DocsWednesday, Client2DocsWednesday, ...
Client1DocsMonday would be created no problem but for Client2DocsMonday the
director reports that a appendable volume is required.
On this implementation I would have a backup for each client
For every day of the week in a different pool (storage device and so
location).
Pool {
Name = MondayDocs
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 7 days
Volume Use Duration = 1
Maximum Volumes = 1
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Catalog Files = yes
Label Format = ${Job}_
}
Etc, etc.
1. What changes do I need to make to the Pool definition to ensure that if
a new volume is required for a backup that it would automatically be created
?
You woiuld have to set Maximum Volumes to a reasonable value, and when
you're working on it, also set Volume Use Duration sensibly, too. And
set a maximum number of volumes for the pool to prevent your partition
filling.

Your help would be appreciated.
