Bill,
Thanks for the insight. I believe that did the trick.
I purged, then deleted, 6 (empty) volumes, to get the list down to
three. The next run automatically generated a volume named according to
the configured format, and did not request manual label.
Many thanks! -Bruce
Hello Bruce
Hello Bruce,
I see this in your Pool:
8<
Maximum Volumes = 4
8<
Check the backup log. Newer versions of Bacula will tell you something along the
lines of "Maximum volumes in pool reached,
cannot create a new volume", and then you will get the mount/label request.
Also, in bco
Thank you for the tip. Apparently, however, this is not the case.
bconsole output:

use_cat=1 use_once=0 cat_files=1
max_vols=4 auto_prune=1 VolRetention=2 months 2 days

Can someone explain to me why a backup started manually with bconsole
asked for a label command, when the configuration specifies automatic
labeling?
It seems that the Label Format entry in the Pool directive is being
ignored. Why is this?
