Is there a way to manually execute the algorithm that bacula uses to request a tape for recycling, in order to predict which tapes will be recycled next?
I'd like to get a list from bacula of the next "N" tapes that it will recycle, so that I can pre-load the changer with the oldest tapes. I'd rather do this than have bacula try to do a backup that fails due to a lack of recyclable media in the changer. For example, there are 60 tapes that have been used by bacula at some time (and no blank tapes or volumes in the Scratch pool), but only 23 slots in the autochanger. A full backup may take up to 6 tapes, depending on what client is being backed up--so just knowing which single tape will be recycled next isn't sufficient. In other words, if the autochanger could hold every tape we own (InChanger = 1 for every tape), which "N" tapes would bacula use next, based on the recycle algorithm?
