There is also the relabel console command. Volume has to be Purged or
Recycle Status for relabel to work, so you probably have to purge before
relabel will work.

Not a nightmare, but lots of sql digging ...

You can use the delete volume on bconsole ( this ensure not leaving orphaned
file/jobs/volumes in db )
After that you can delete corresponding volumes.

[Bacula-users] Renaming volumes...
Hi,
I use a USB disk as storage and at first I had volumes labeled like this:
Label Format = "${Client}.${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}.full.v${NumVols}"
Label Format = "${Client}.${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}.diff.v${NumVols}"
Label Format = "${Client}.${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}.incr.v${NumVols}"
But, after seeing that the date is useless/confusing with the recycling, I'd
like to use this:
Label Format = "${Client}.full.v${NumVols}"
Label Format = "${Client}.diff.v${NumVols}"
Label Format = "${Client}.incr.v${NumVols}"
Is there a list of steps to follow or is it a nightmare?
Or, at worse, how can I restart from 'zero'?
Delete from the console and then the files?
Thx,
JD

No, not generous, just happy that there are people like you who take the time
respond, and I want to avoid to discourage you from continuing to give your

Since I have bacula disk volumes, too, I decided to give it a quick try. I used bcopy to copy one disk volume to another, new one. Then, I used bls to do a quick test of the integrity of the new volume. It didn't work -- it kept complaining about the volume label. So, as another test, using bconsole, I used the label command to create a new disk volume in the archive, as well as in the catalog. Then, I used the bcopy program to copy an existing archive into the new volume and it seemed to work. Now, bls would list all of the same files that were in the original volume and displayed the new volume name. The next step would be to use the bscan program to enter this data into the catalog, but I don't seem to have a copy of bscan on my system. :( cmr -- C M Reinehr AMS Enterprises, LLC (334) 269-4358 (Voice) 323 Bibb St P O Box 20 Montgomery AL 36111-0020 (334) 262-1706 (Fax) Debian 'Sarge': Registered Linux User #182151 -- "Simple, clear purpose and principles give rise to complex and intelligent behavior.

Unfortunately, neither of those good ideas will help. The Volume name is
embedded in the Bacula Volume label record on the medium so that Bacula can
find out what the Volume name really is. To change it, you would need to
change the Volume data, which is not something I recommend. All records are
contained in blocks, and all blocks are checksummed, so it would be a real
pain to try to change a Volume name ...
Doing a bcopy might work, but it is largely untested. However, bcopy does not
update the catalog, so your first suggestion might be valid after a bcopy.
If anyone tries it, please let me know ...

[Bacula-users] Renaming Volumes?
Can I rename a disk volume somehow? i figured out how I want to label the volumes now but it was wrong yesterday. The backups were good, but the names are not what I want. I have auto labeling so I assume that when they expirre they will just get deleted but can I fix them before that? One of them does not expire for a month!
