Hi Bruno,
yes but I don't know, where to search. What I have found is a problem with the
"Use Once" directive. If a add this to my pool definition, the storage is
blocked and new volumes aren't created. Here is one Client configured in my
system:
##
# Bareos Dir
##
Client {
Name = franky-fd
Address = 1.2.3.4
Password = "{secretpw}" # password for FileDaemon
FDPort = 9102
}
Job {
Name = "franky-ink"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob-franky"
Level = Incremental
Client = franky-fd
FileSet = "franky" # selftest fileset
(#13)
}
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob-franky"
Type = Backup
Storage = franky-sd
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Messages = Standard
Pool = Incremental
Priority = 10
Full Backup Pool = Full
Incremental Backup Pool = Incremental
Maximum Concurrent Jobs =

If your volume are not purged then you have another problem somewhere.
Typically if you change the pool retention time afterward, the first volumes
there
need to be adjusted to have their time aligned with the new retention.
The purge and retention system works once mastered, but without a bit more of
your
configuration it will be hard to guess for us.

If you want to run a full each week then a day should be inserted here

Run = Level=Full Pool=Full on sun at 2:00 # (#04)
Then every sunday at 2 (I would avoid the 2-3 range due to DST) a full is run.
As advise, I would always have at least 2 full backups, if for any reasons the
last run failed you still have one.

Hi Bruno,
thank you for your answer and for your suggestions. You are right, but how can
I avoid, that bareos uses so much volumes? It does not prune the used volumes.
All of my harddisks are running out of space, because alle volumes are in state
'used'.
Can you advise, what to do?
Thanks very much,
Ludwig
