I am getting this error when running copy jobs. I have an "ARCHIVE-ALL" job
that searches for any client backup jobs that terminated normally and have
not yet been copied from online to archive backups, and runs copy jobs for
each. I have been using this system for 7 years now, and it has worked well
until today.
Here's the Pool definitions (File is the online pool, and Archive is a
vchanger with 6 removable disks as magazines):
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # 1 year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 245 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Storage = BKUP
Next Pool = Archive # Where to copy/migrate to
}
Pool {
Name = Archive
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 136 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Storage = ARCH
}
As you can see, the volume retention in the Archive pool is set to 365
days., and Recycle is set to yes, which means (if I understand this
correctly) that any volume that hasn't been written to in more than a year
should be available to recycle. So why is it suddenly telling me that there
are no appendable volumes after 7 years of running this configuration?
All of my client definitions look like this:
Client {
Name = "myhost"
Address = myhost.my.domain
Catalog = "My Catalog" # there is only one
Password = "big secret"
File Retention = 365 days
Job Retention = 365 days
}
Did I miss something? There are definitely some volumes in the Archive
pool that have not been written to in more than a year; shouldn't those be
available for recycling?
Lastly, what command would I use to let Bacula know that a given volume can
be made available? Eventually I have to solve my configuration issue, but
for now I'd like to just mark some old volumes as available manually so
that my copy jobs can continue.
Thanks for any pointers,
--Greg
