Hi,
I wanted to restore a backup from a tape. Job is listed in the catalog,
volume status is 'Append'. However, when I tried to restore, it says:
For one or more of the JobIds selected, no files were found,
so file selection is not possible.
Most likely your retention policy pruned the files.

Hi,
I have 2 catalog backups, can I merge some jobs from the second catalog
into the first catalog? Reason is I have accidentally purged jobs from a

catalog, I'll lose the recent 3 days jobs list.
It seems feasible but some op
That should be it then. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the explanation on bacula with cluster. I've never setup bacula

Hi,
Does bacula storage has a limit to accept jobs at one time?
I have configured 7 servers to backup on a FreeNAS. Each server runs
bacula-dir pointing to its own bacula database locally. Each server has 2

Hi all,
At the data centre we are using IBM-LTO tape - 3.0TB compressed, 1.5T

150GB size and bacula marked the tape as full.

Yes, I understand that. But for such setup like recycling the same tape
every night, and if the backup takes several hours to complete, the hours
calculation is pretty important.

Thanks, I've stopped with my habit setting the volstatus to recycle
manually. Now I just purge the volumes when I don't need it.

Not that I noticed. Purging will remove the jobs associated with the volume
off the catalog right?

Hello,
I have this problem with one of my client experiencing pruning of a volume

updating the volume status). I have googled up on this and from what I

Hi all,
The other day I was running a full and differential backup back to back on
a database server, and I was surprised to see the size of both backups are
not that far off. The full backup size was about 37G, and the differential
backup that runs after that was about 30G. Excerpt from the log:

As for 'Purge Oldest Volume', I'm not keen to use this parameter as it will
remove the job list from the catalog as well.

Hi all,
I'd like to know if I understand these 2 parameters correctly:
Recycle Current Volume = yes
Recycle current mounted volume in pool.
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Recycle oldest volume in pool.
But, for both parameters, bacula still won't recyle either current or
oldest volume if there is

wrong tape is inserted, or if a tape is not changed for some time that will
lead it to be fully utilised, but can't be recycled because there are other

Hi all,
I am using IBM DAT 160 media with bacula, and I always get a tape error
after a successful backup job. There were a lot of times that the tapes

Hi,
I added the directive "Purge Oldest Volume = yes", and reload through

Hi,
I configured bacula to perform backup on a tape for every 2 days (1 tape

These tapes will be recycled every 2 weeks.

Due to holiday and having no one around to switch tapes for me, I have more
than 10 jobs created and pending for backup. Normally when situation like

tapes one by one and let the jobs run in sequence one after another.

I'm having a bit of a problem with my backup schedule. The requirement is
to use 1 tape for 2 days incremental backup and 1 tape for 1 day full
backup. The tapes will be classified into 2 groups, the odd week(1st, 3rd,
5th week of the month), and the even week(2nd and 4th week of the month).
