Hello! I've some problems with bacula 5.2.5 (maybe < 5.2.5) Volume Retention.... It looks bacula is recycling volumes when no one is left, even before volume retention period expires.... Although bacula purged all jobs and files from volume, it should respect volume retention, don't it?
For testing purposes, I've downloaded, compiled and installer bacula 5.2.5, changing only Pool file settings: Volume Use Duration = 1 minute Volume Retention = 1 day and Client bacula-fd: File Retention = 1 minute Job Retention = 1 minute So, I've created 2 volumes, Vol1 and Vol2. Then, I ran a backup job, that was stored at Vol1. 1 minute later, ran another backup, Vol1 was marked as used, files and job at Vol1 was purged, and backup was stored at Vol2. Another minute later I ran another backup. This time, Vol1 was recycled and backup was stored on it. Since Volume Retention was set to 1 day and manual says about Recycling Algorithm: "Prune volumes applying Volume retention period (Volumes with VolStatus Full, Used, or Append are pruned). Note, even if all the File and Job records are pruned from a Volume, ***the Volume will not be marked Purged until the Volume retention period expires***." (http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html), Vol1 shouldn't have been recycled... But log shows "There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "Vol1". Marking it purged." Any ideas? Regards, Diego -- -- Diego P.
