>From the manual, I understand that "Purge Oldest Volume" makes bareos just takes the oldest volume, prune/purge/recycle it, and uses that one, not caring about the retention time. This ensures bareos will always have an available volume to use. BUT I understand it will only do so, if there is no other usable volumes, and not able to create new volumes.
Right? So, onto the next question, what is the actual use of " Recycle Oldest Volume"? From the manual, it says it takes the oldest volume and prune/purge/recycle it, but respecting the retention period. So whats the magic? It is making a volume available after expired retention period??? Isnt that what bareos does anyway with settings "recycle=yes,autoprune=yes,volume retention=<passed>". What am I missing? Look at this link: https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/VolumeManagement.html#recycling-algorithm What is the actual difference between step 5 and step 10 ? So is there any situation you need this setting? And last, from what I understand "recycle" refers to actually reuse a volume, but is there any difference between pruning and purging? I find the terms are mixed up everywhere in the manual. Thanks for answers! Cheers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
