Make sure the volumes are marked as used once they should not be used 
any more, and remain in that state until they should be used again. 
This is done by setting up the volume use duration and retention times.

[Bacula-users] Writing to same volume every day

2007-10-09 Thread Ben Ramsfield
We are running Bacula 2.2.4. We have two pools; Daily and Weekend. The Daily 
pool has 9 volumes, A1-A5, B1-B4. A1 - A4 and B1 - B4 are used for Monday - 
Thursday, switching between the two sets every other week. A5 is left in as an 
overflow volume in case the regular tapes fill up. We are using an Exabyte VXA 
320 - 1x10 1U packet loader. This is a 10 tape auto loader library.

So, our problem is that the daily backups are always getting written to A5. How 
can we get the dailys to write to the A* or B* tapes. And yes, the tapes are 
purged and their status set to append.

Thanks

Ben
