Hi! I have a problem with my tape pool configuration. I want to use exactly 12 LTO tapes (one tape per month). After 12 month the oldest tape shall be reused without appending new data.
But bacula seems to ignore my recycle and purge configuration (see below). After one year I reuse the old tape and bacula appends the new data to it. Then, after the second year has passed, the data is still appended to the tape! Now I have the problem that my september tape ran out of free space and I was asked to insert the august tape... a few MB later that tape was full also and bacula asked for the july tape.... :/ :/ So I manually purged the september tape and restarted all related backup jobs. How can I configure bacula to purge the oldest tape instead of appending to it for more than two years? My pool configuration for the tape looks like this: # ====================== Pool { Name = MonthlyTape Use Volume Once = no Pool Type = Backup AutoPrune = yes Recycle Current Volume = yes Volume Retention = 12 month Recycle = yes } # ====================== Would it make sense to set the retention time to "11 month 1 days"?
