Here's an example of the email I'm getting from Bacula (7.4.7):
24-May 06:05 bacula.allegro.com-sd JobId 104: Job
MinervaBackup.2018-05-23_23.05.00_53 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable
volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "FileChgr1-Dev1" (/santa/bacula/backup)
Pool: File
Media type: File1
I went into bconsole and labeled a file named
-- MinervaBackup.2018-05-23_23.05.00_53. Bacula seems happy with this name
but I was immediately flooded with the following messages (this is just an
example):
bacula.allegro.com-dir JobId 104: Purging oldest volume
"MinervaBackup.2018-05-22_23.05.00_14"
bacula.allegro.com-dir JobId 104: 0 File on Volume
"MinervaBackup.2018-05-22_23.05.00_14" purged from catalog.
bacula.allegro.com-dir JobId 104: Purging oldest volume

bacula.allegro.com-dir JobId 104: Purging oldest volume
"MinervaBackup.2018-05-22_23.05.00_14"
bacula.allegro.com-dir JobId 104: 0 File on Volume
"MinervaBackup.2018-05-22_23.05.00_14" purged from catalog.
bacula.allegro.com-dir JobId 104: Purging oldest volume
"MinervaBackup.2018-05-22_23.05.00_14"
bacula.allegro.com-dir JobId 104: 0 File on Volume
"MinervaBackup.2018-05-22_23.05.00_14" purged from catalog.
I guess "purged from catalog" doesn't include actually purge the "_14" file
because it's still there:
ll /santa/bacula/backup/M*
-rw-r----- 1 root root 244 May 23 08:03
/santa/bacula/backup/MinervaBackup.2018-05-22_23.05.00_14
-rw-r----- 1 root root 244 May 24 08:06
/santa/bacula/backup/MinervaBackup.2018-05-23_23.05.00_53
And fwiw...clearly the "_53" file is there but it's not being written to.
For giggles, I tried to make/label a "_54" file but that errored.
So I have this backup (which is the first of six) just sitting. If I cancel
this job, the next job in line will continue to sit too...
So what's wrong?
Here's my (only real) Pool definition:
Pool
{
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 30 days # 30 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 30 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 # Force a Volume switch after 1 job
Volume Use Duration = 14h # Force volume switch
Label Format =
"Vol-${Client}-${Pool}-${Year}${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}${Minute:p/2/0/r}-${JobId}-${NumVols}"
Purge oldest Volume = yes
}
I do, of course, have a scratch pool:
Pool
{
Name = Scratch
Pool Type = Backup
}
Second interesting question -- given my "Label Format" statement, I would
expect my files to be named something like
this: Vol-minerva.allegro.com-fd-File-20180517-2305-73-19. So why are my
files named: MinervaBackup.2018-05-23_23.05.00_53?
