Hey folks,
I'm sure I have had this issue settled however...
My goal is to overwrite the backup-to-disk volumes everyday except Thursday
(another story). My understanding is that the following segment of my
bacula-dir.conf file will do the trick. However, it is not.
# Default Job Definition
JobDefs {
Name = DefaultJob
Type = Backup
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
}
# Associate VERACRUZ's files with the VERACRUZ server
Job {
Name = "VERACRUZ-Full"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Client = "VERACRUZ-fd"
FileSet = "VERACRUZ_BU"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/bacula/working/VERACRUZ.bsr"
SpoolData = yes
}
# Wednesday storage pool
Pool {
Name = WednesdayPool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 5d
Recycle Current Volume = yes
}
# The WeeklyCycle uses 5 different pools so that tapes can be recycled weekly
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
#<...snip...>
Run = Level=Differential Pool=TuesdayPool Tuesday at 22:00
#<...snip...>
}
This morning I was greeted with this message in my email account:

Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "FileStorage" (/tmp)
Pool: WednesdayPool
Media type: File
As I understand it, the above configuration will simply reuse the volume in the
selected pool. What am I missing?
