In fact, my initial configuration was not correct.
The RecyclePool=Scratch directive must be specified in the Scratch pool section.
If I purge a tape, it is automatically moved to the Scratch pool.
But the tape is never moved to the Scratch pool after a retention period.
I have to purge it manually
The problem is that the variable RecyclePoolId is not set for the media.
If I execute "update volume" for all the volumes of the pool, the RecyclePoolId
field is well set, and recycling works fine
It seems there is a bug...
--
I have defined it in the pool
Pool {
Name = System
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 days 1 hour # for tests
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
but tapes never go automatically to Scratch pool after the retention period.
I will check source code to understand...

Any explanation on the recycle mechanism is welcome !

Hello,
I have done several tests and I don't understand well the recycling to the
Scratch pool.
According to the documentation and my tests, the recycling occurs only when a
job
needs a tape and there is no one appendable in the pool. In this case, it will
try to recycle a tape (from the sam

Hello,
I am preparing a NFS server (Linux) which is a part of a global project for a

This NFS server will be backuped with bacula; I use MySQL for the database.
Could someone explain me if I am right with MySQL licencing ?
MySQL is only used for the bacula data.

A workaround I have found is to set the slot number to 0 (using update volumes);
thus, when restoring, bacula finds a bad slot number and asks immediately for
intervention:

Hello,
I cannot cancel a restoration job which is waiting for a mount.
I have an autochanger, and the tape is not in the changer.
So, I want to cancel the job.
The documentation states:

But I
Hello,
I have removed a tape from my autochanger, and I have set the InChanger flag to 0
with the update volume command
Now, I try to restore a file from this tape.
I would expect that bacula asks for an intervention to insert the missing tape;
instead,
bacula trie to mount the missing tape (
in fact, i am now not sure about my test for update volume
i will do it again monday
i think it might work
this could be a workaround for my problem

Hello,
I am using bacula-2.4.3-1
I have autochanger (HP MSL2024) with barcodes.
tapes are labeled with "label barcode"
everything is working well, but if i remove a tape
from the library and do not replace it with a new tape,
the old volume has not its 'InChanger' flag reset.
This causes a l
Hello,
Here is my problem: I want to backup my system with normal strategy
(full every week, incremental, retention), but I have also data on
this server that I want to archive indefinitely (without retention).
To do that, i declared first retention period for this job as 100 years.
But it
