I'm running bacula 1.36.3-1b on Debian, and just noticed that my backup job appears to select the wrong volume. In fact, first it deleted the volume, and then it wrote to it. The volumes are all files on disk.
Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding something? 27-Aug 01:06 wheat-dir: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking Volume "Diff2005-07-09_0045" as Used. 27-Aug 01:06 wheat-dir: Pruned 1 Job on Volume "Diff2005-07-16_0047" from catalog. 27-Aug 01:06 wheat-dir: Recycled volume "Diff2005-07-16_0047" 27-Aug 01:06 wheat-sd: Recycled volume "Diff2005-07-16_0047" on device "/var/spool/bacula", all previous data lost. 27-Aug 01:07 wheat-dir: Bacula 1.36.3 (22Apr05): 27-Aug-2005 01:07:12 JobId: 114 Job: LinSysRoot.2005-08-27_01.05.00 Backup Level: Differential, since=2005-08-06 01:05:02 Client: wheat-fd FileSet: "LinSysRoot Set" 2005-06-21 15:42:55 Pool: "Differential" Storage: "File" Start time: 27-Aug-2005 01:05:02 End time: 27-Aug-2005 01:07:12 FD Files Written: 934 SD Files Written: 934 FD Bytes Written: 492,200 SD Bytes Written: 623,489 Rate: 3.8 KB/s Software Compression: 69.7 % Volume name(s): Diff2005-07-16_0047 Volume Session Id: 39 Volume Session Time: 1121822249 Last Volume Bytes: 638,178 Non-fatal FD errors: 0 SD Errors: 0 FD termination status: OK SD termination status: OK Termination: Backup OK 27-Aug 01:07 wheat-dir: Begin pruning Jobs. 27-Aug 01:07 wheat-dir: No Jobs found to prune. 27-Aug 01:07 wheat-dir: Begin pruning Files. 27-Aug 01:07 wheat-dir: No Files found to prune. 27-Aug 01:07 wheat-dir: End auto prune. Diff2005-07-16_0047 is present on disk and was written to at the time of the backup. I also have run before and after jobs, which I've omitted. The disk also shows a number of later Diff volumes (later by the date and sequence number in the name).
