No, that's hard to tell... usually, that would indicate a database

Anyway, this is hard to analyze whan it was a unique, one-time problem.

Hello Arno,

It looks like the retention periods are set incorrectly since the Volume was 
pruned while the job was running.

Ah, ok... in that case, you should do an 'llist volume=...' (IIRC) with 
the volume in question. And,of course, also check your pool and client 
settings for their retention times, and also keep in mind that 
individual volumes may need to be updated to have their retention times 
updated after a pool change...

And, of course, this shows how important it is to report problems with 
the right sort of information attached to it :-)

 Hi,
 
 my backup strategy is to use one tape per week and after 5 weeks/tapes I 
 re-use the first
 tape.

Ok.

 I do a full backup on Sunday evening and I want to change the tape on Monday 
 morning
 when I'm in the office. I recently changed the config files to automatically 
 eject the
 tape.

I never tried that, but I guess we can be sure it works in principle.

 This was the case this Monday morning, but after I inserted an unused tape (I 
 just
 labeled it last week in advance) and mounted it, the director is still 
 waiting for a tape
 (see below). I use Bacula on Windows 2003 server.

Uuu... ask Robert ;-)

I do think that the windows version is not as well tested as the unix 
one, and I assume that Robert is only waiting to fix the problems that 
come up :-)

 I did already a purge jobs volume for the Tape05 but that didn't help.
 
 Now I'm somewhat lost. How do I convince Bacula to use Tape05 ?

   Spool Directory = V:\\BaculaSpool
   Maximum Spool Size = 2 GB
   Changer Command = mtx-changer %o %a %S
   Maximum Changer Wait = 4d
   Offline On Unmount = yes
   Label media = yes
 }

That configuration looks funny... is that an autochanger or a single 
drive? The configuration looks like a 1.36 one - i.e. no separate 
autochanger section - but that was not ported to windows.

No jobs running indicates that the SD at least does not actually wait 
for a new tape...

The same applies here.

But then, there's no job from today. So I guess we can assume the SD 
itself has the drive and tape set up correctly but it's the DIR which 
does not know it can continue...

 Device status:
 Device FileStorage (V:\BaculaTmp) is not open.
 Device Quantum (Tape0) is mounted with Volume=Tape05 Pool=Default
 Total Bytes Read=129,024 Blocks Read=2 Bytes/block=64,512
 Positioned at File=0 Block=0
 

Hmmm... that looks like a mounted, empty tape to me, too. The SD read 
the label off the tape an rewound it. No writes yet.

 In Use Volume status:
 Tape05 on device Quantum (Tape0)
 
 
 Data spooling: 0 active jobs, 0 bytes; 7 total jobs, 2,000,050,371 max 
 bytes/job.
 Attr spooling: 1 active jobs, 9,135,494 bytes; 6 total jobs, 17,783,343 max 
 bytes.

But there are attributes still spooled... looks like the SD is currently 
despooling attributes after a completed job.

Is that possible, i.e. did the Job finish some time after you wrote your 
mail?

If it did not, I'd like to see the 'sta dir' output, because above you 
state that the director is still waiting for a tape but didn't give 
any output showing us how it did wait :-)
