The output of "list volumes pool=Archive" might show something. In
particular, what is the volstatus of these volumes? It must be Used or Full
to allow recycling.

You could try the purge volume command.

[Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes
I am getting this error when running copy jobs. I have an "ARCHIVE-ALL" job
that searches for any client backup jobs that terminated normally and have
not yet been copied from online to archive backups, and runs copy jobs for
each. I have been using this system for 7 years now, and it has worked well
until today.
Here's the Pool definitions (File is the online pool, and Archive is a
vchanger with 6 removable disks as magazines):
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # 1 year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 245# Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Storage = BKUP
Next Pool = Archive # Where to copy/migrate to
}
Pool {
Name = Archive
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 136# Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Storage = ARCH
}
As you can see, the volume retention in the Archive pool is set to 365
days., and Recycle is set to yes, which means (if I understand this
correctly) that any volume that hasn't been written to in more than a year
should be available to recycle. So why is it suddenly telling me that there
are no appendable volumes after 7 years of running this configuration?
All of my client definitions look like this:
Client {
Name = "myhost"
Address = myhost.my.domain
Catalog = "My Catalog" # there is only one
Password = "big secret"
File Retention = 365 days
Job Retention = 365 days
}
Did I miss something? There are definitely some volumes in the Archive
pool that have not been written to in more than a year; shouldn't those be
available for recycling?
Lastly, what command would I use to let Bacula know that a given volume can
be made available? Eventually I have to solve my configuration issue, but
for now I'd like to just mark some old volumes as available manually so
that my copy jobs can continue.
Thanks for any pointers,
--Greg

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes - but has plenty of unused volumes
Hi Just for the record. I can see my database is out of sync with the volume files. I have orphan volume files - like the file is there but not in db or the information are different. So my first step is to run bscan on all 1500 volumes which may take something around 30 hours.

Hi bacula Version: 7.0.4 I get this message Cannot find any appendable volumes in my file based storage.

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes - but has plenty of unused volumes
Mr. Hans, I get this message Cannot find any appendable volumes in my file based storage. This is pretty obvious but it's good to make sure: 1. Are you submitting jobs to the same pool that you have the appendable volumes? 2. Do you have Appendable volumes in this pool? After adding a label and running a job it writes: 22-Sep 14:27 bohr-dir JobId 93031: Begin pruning Jobs older than 6 months . 22-Sep 14:27 bohr-dir JobId 93031: No Jobs found to prune. 22-Sep 14:27 bohr-dir JobId 93031: Begin pruning Files. 22-Sep 14:27 bohr-dir JobId 93031: No Files found to prune. (why does it says 6 months?) This message concerns another kind of retention that just affect Bacula Catalog Indexes. Don't confuse it with the volume retention. In the Pool I have: Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Maximum Volume Bytes = 5368709120 Volume Retention = 2 weeks Maximum Volumes = 1520 #Recycle Oldest Volume = yes #Action On Purge = Truncate I tried to add the last two options but it did not change anything. I have also manually tried to prune, purge and delete unused volumes without success. Anyhow, list media pool=pool_name output and the full job log are necessary to provide a diagnosis.

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes - But auto labeling is enabled?
What pool your jobs are writing?
You enabled autolabel on File pool. Your jobs are trying write on it?
Verify your config files. By default (no config), the job get JobDefs
definition and write on Default pool. Your default pool has not autolabeling
enabled. Try change it to File pool overriding config or editing your
JobDefs.conf.
Verify too if you really has not volumes in append status.
You can verify your pools and volumes with list command (below):
list volumes
Try this and post results.

I'm going to guess it's this Pool. I'm also going to guess that you have

I see no need for a scratch pool if you're backing up to disk.

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes - But auto labeling is enabled?
I had the same message and I had to repair some mysql tables to fix it! I thought the tables were 'Media' and 'JobMedia' Kind regards, Caspar Smit 2011/1/3 Mister IT Guru misteritg...@gmx.com I am at a loss as to why this can occur, when I've configured automatic labellings. I get this error emailed to me when jobs are trying to run Cannot find any appendable volumes It's my understanding that this happens when there are no tapes available, but I have disk based storage. Any hints and tips would be appreciated, I can attach any requested configs. -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

This happens when Bacula cannot find appendable volumes. Disk or tape,
or whatever.
Show us the Pool resource for the pool in question.
Below are the pool definitions that I currently have
---
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
}
# File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 100 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
LabelFormat = BaculaBackups-
}
I'm going to guess it's this Pool. I'm also going to guess that you have
reached 100 volumes in this pool. Please confirm
There are no volumes here, this is a fresh setup still testing - and
I'll be darned if I'm using 5000G and didn't notice!

[Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes
I've changed my configuration to add a 'Maximum Volumes =' directive for the pools, and have cancelled jobs, and restarted Bacula. Some of the volumes are in the loader, and some have been removed for storage. The Maximum Volumes directive is equal to the total volumes assigned to the pool (whether or not they are in the loader). Now, with another pool, I have the same error: 29-Apr 10:06 orlbacula-sd JobId 14890: Job daniel2-backup.2010-04-28_21.05.22 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.

[Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes
Hi there,
I've been struggling for weeks to get my previously working setup
working again. :-( I read the docs multiple times but was unable to spot
my fault.
I've got the following setup:
Pool {
Name = Weekly
Pool Type = Backup
# volumes are moved to Scratch manually, avoid automatic recycling
Recycle=no
AutoPrune = no
Volume Retention = 6 weeks
Volume Use Duration = 23 hours
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
Pool {
Name = Scratch
Pool Type = Backup
RecyclePool = Scratch
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Use Duration = 2 days
Volume Retention = 14 days
}
Pool {
Name = Daily-Autoloader
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Retention = 14 days
Volume Use Duration = 2 days
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
And even though there are volumes in the scratch pool, e.g.:
Pool: Scratch

Bacula does not pick them up for the weekly backup. The daily backups
work as expected. But all the weeklies fail:
Job xxx_Server.2010-02-14_06.10.36 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the label command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: Superloader-Drive (/dev/nst0)
Pool: Woechentlich
Media type: LTO-3
What am I missing? Do I need a Recycle=yes in the Weekly pool? I suppose
not - at least according to the documentation, Bacula will always look
into the scratch pool for new volumes.
BTW: Bacula version is 2.2.5.
Thanks for any hints,
Tino.

Thanks for your answer.
Here is the config for this pool:
Pool {

Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 27 days
Volume Use Duration = 10h
}

I'm not really expert on Volume managing (i'm new on bacula's

getting about volume purging and recycling time. You should check you
retention periods for volumes, for example.
I'm sure it would be very helpful for anyone having exact notions about

[Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Hello together,
I hope someone can help me.
Last Saturday bacula should make fullbackup for 22 clients.
It starts at 20:05 with the first client.
At Sunday morning 04:04 it send me messages like this:
08-Feb 04:04 backupserver-sd JobId 232: Job
helios-Automatic-Backup.2009-02-07_20.05.21 waiting. Cannot find any
appendable volumes.
Please use the label command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: helios-Device (/backup/helios)
Pool: helios-Pool
Media type: File
I have no idea where the problem is.
This job works fine last January.
Here is the job definition:
# /etc/bacula/helios-backup.conf
#
# Job definition for host helios
#
Job {
Name = helios-Automatic-Backup
Type = Backup
Client = helios
FileSet = helios-FileSet

}
The pool definition. It's the same definition like all other client pool
definition, excepting the hostname:
#

Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 months
Use Volume Once = yes
Maximum Volume Bytes = 4509715660.8
Label Format = helios-
Maximum Volumes = 31
}
The schedule definition:
## When to do the backups, full backup on first sunday of the month,
## differential (i.e. incremental since full) every other sunday,
## and incremental backups other days
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyCycle
Run = Full first saturday at 20:05
Run = Differential second-fifth saturday at 20:05
Run = Incremental monday-friday at 20:05
}
The job starts and generate some volumes.
list volumes jobid=232
Jobid 232 used 7 Volume(s):

In www I red that I can fix this instead I prune some older volumes of
helios.
I did this. But nothing happens.
Then I red about storage deamon problems. So I restarted the storage
daemon.
After that, bacula stopped this job and started the next job.
Bacula directory and sotarge daemon are installed on the same machine.
An opensuse 11.0 x86_64 pc.

Summary : Bacula - The Network Backup Solution
Description :
But it is the i586 package. Not the x86_64 version.
The x86_64 version didn't work on this machine.
I checked the number of volumes for other clients.
Other pools containes more volumes.
The volume number isn't 999.
After I restart the storage daemon it starts the next job. This job
generates a volume called john-0338.
This job was the second full backup job for this machine.
So, where is the problem?

Manfred

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes. (but they are there!)
When I have this issue I do the following. 1. Make sure that the request for an appendable volume isn't legitimate. It happens, tapes fill up and no more are available in the changer. 2. Cancel any tape jobs. Let any disk jobs complete 3. Stop bacula-dir, bacula-sd 4. Remove bacula-dir.state, bacula-sd.state 5. Restart bacula-dir, bacula-sd 6. Run canceled tape jobs. -Shon On Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 7:31 AM, Joerg Wunsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As Mingus Dew wrote: I hope someone answers your question.

Could you check your bacula.log for any errors in the tape jobs prior. I've noticed that library error (mtx output) is not making it into the failure emails, only the request for an appendable volume That might explain it, but then I'd still like to know how to recover. The night before, one backup was aborted since the autochanger script somehow got confused about the slots to unload the tape into, and then the ch(4) device (this is FreeBSD which has a kernel device driver for media changer devices) refused to unload the medium because the desired destination slot was not empty. Prompted by this, I modified the autochanger script to always use the chio return drive 0 command rather than even trying to trust the slot number passed in from Bacula -- I found my L280 can always exactly remember which slot the medium has been loaded from, even after a power cycle, so there's no point in trying to move the tape to anything else but its source slot. After fixing this, I did not restart the bacula daemons though. The last messages from the previous night's failed jobs were: 03-Nov 03:13 uriah-sd JobId 35: 3304 Issuing autochanger load slot 3, drive 0 command. 03-Nov 03:14 uriah-sd JobId 35: Fatal error: 3992 Bad autochanger load slot 3, drive 0: ERR=Child exited with code 1.

I also think I found the root of all evil that was eventually causing the hardware errors the changer reported (which in turn made bacula-sd block the drive), it was probably a line in the chio-bacula script my changer couldn't really stand. Anyway, I'd still be interested in learning how to unblock the drive /without/ cancelling the job, and restarting bacula-sd, i. e. a way to tell bacula-sd: Hey, all the trouble is gone, the hardware is fixed again, please just continue now. -- cheers, Jorg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .

As Mingus Dew wrote: I hope someone answers your question. I've seen this same issue reported my me and others with no admission that there is a bug. I personally can't find anything wrong with my configuration. Could you check your bacula.log for any errors in the tape jobs prior. I've noticed that library error (mtx output) is not making it into the failure emails, only the request for an appendable volume That might explain it, but then I'd still like to know how to recover. The night before, one backup was aborted since the autochanger script somehow got confused about the slots to unload the tape into, and then the ch(4) device (this is FreeBSD which has a kernel device driver for media changer devices) refused to unload the medium because the desired destination slot was not empty. Prompted by this, I modified the autochanger script to always use the chio return drive 0 command rather than even trying to trust the slot number passed in from Bacula -- I found my L280 can always exactly remember which slot the medium has been loaded from, even after a power cycle, so there's no point in trying to move the tape to anything else but its source slot. After fixing this, I did not restart the bacula daemons though.

[Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes
Hi all,
I'm running Bacula 2.4.2 off a FreeBSD 7.0 server using a DDS-3 tape drive.
I'm using a Grandfather/father/son tape rotational scheme where I back up
the data and the catalog as two nightly jobs onto a tape each time that it
runs. All is well. Except for the monthly full backup. It will start the
data backup and complete it. It starts the catalog backup job and report
that it cannot find any appendable volume. I have to cancel that job in
order to get going with the next backup job. Monthly backup jobs are
scheduled the first Saturday of each month.
The weird thing is- the monthly job definition is exactly the same as the
weekly job definitions. I have absolutely no issues with the weekly jobs nor
with the daily jobs.

Re: [Bacula-users] Cannot find any appendable volumes on already labeled tapes.
You ran into a bug in 1.38.x that causes the Director to incorrectly handle
Pool names containing spaces. Bug #492 has a patch file that will add all
current patches to 1.38.1 generating 1.38.2. Note, this patch file is
preliminary because there may be additional changes before the 1.38.2
release.
If you only want to fix the current problem, look at the patch for
src/dird/catreq.c. That part of the patch file contains a one line addition
that fixes your bug ...
