Dear List, We have got a single-slot tapedrive and therefor do not have the luxury of letting Bacula decide which volume/tape to use. So our configuration forces Bacula to use a Monday-volume(tape), a Tuesday-volume(tape) etc. I have implemented a RunBeforeJob which checks if the current date is a holiday or not and forces the backup to be canceled if needed. However this leads to the need of multiple manual interventions as soon as the holidayperiod has ended: when a pool of volumes is pruned for instance the Monday volume gets pruned and on Tuesday (not being a holiday) Bacula want the oldest available volume being the Monday volume. The next day same issue. This obviously continues until the retention-period in that pool is reached again.
How can I let Bacula skip that volume one more entire retention period (through a script)? Regards Olaf PS I have an idea how to do this but it will require extensive scripting and as far as I know there is no "predict" command in bconsole to predict which volume will be used next the script has to be flawless to predict and manipulate the catalog. Sounds a bit dangerous to me. Something easier and less invasive would be nice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
