Hi Erik, volumes will only be reused after the volume retention period is reached. And the point of keeping a volume which doesn't contain jobIDs is that you could import the tape or recover data from it using btape since it still contains all files.

From the little bit I understand, if the volume retention period is passed and bacula is unable to find any other appendable volumes in the client's stoarge pool, it will delete all file and job records and then re-use that volume. However, how about if all the jobs in that volume have been pruned but the volume retention period hasn't passed yet (and of course recycling is enabled) Will bacula still re-use the volume since no more jobs remained after they've all been pruned? If it does, what's the purpose of having a volume retention period which is usually without a doubt longer than the job retention period? If it doesn't, what's the point of keeping a volume which doesn't contain jobIDs which can't be restored anymore? thanks in advance, Erik +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by erik.go...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
