Hi everyone! I was having to many problems working with one pool for each day of the week. So, recently, I reconfigure all my bacula director to use ten tapes with only one pool. It's working fine now. I don't have a tape library, so manual changes are done every day (except weekends). From Monday to Saturday, I run differential jobs. On Sunday, only full jobs. However, the Monday's tapes are doing the Saturday diff, Sunday full and Monday diff jobs. Obviously, I need more space for this. These three day tapes (the two Monday one's) aren't capable of doing more than one backup. So, every Friday I have the delete one of the Monday's volume and rewind the tape manually. I can't use Maximum Volume Jobs option. I tough in the Maximum Volume Bytes instead. The other tapes, I can handle for up to two or three months
My doubt is if that will work properly or not. For example: Maximum Volume Bytes is 150g. In one three day tape jobs, it consumes 140g. Next time the tape will be used, it will erase before passing the 150g or it will ask for a new tape when the job that overlaps the 150g ends? I need bacula to detect this proximity to the volume bytes limit and recycle the tape before having and error or asking for another volume. Maybe I will have problems when a new holiday come-up, however, that will be another case to think and fix. Any suggestions? Thanks!
