I just checked and I see that my memory was working correctly this morning... I will ask my colleagues if they remember this issue in the Enterprise version and if it was address/modified/fixed. Be right back. :) OK waiting :) There was a ticket/bug where a customer had reported this same

In the meanwhile I also tried to create a separate storage in the director in analogy to a restore storage device with AutoSelect=no. This also does not work as the volumes I want to truncate are then not found to belong to this storage device. > On 19. Apr 2023, at 11:43, Justin Case wrote: >

Hi all I declared a second device in the disk autochanger, but the same problem occurs when trying to truncate volumes while a backup job is running. I also have set MaximumConcurrentJobs to 5, so this shouldn’t be the problem. It seems that the second device which I declared in the autochanger i

Bacula works with disk volumes similarly as it does with tape volumes. Therefore, when truncating, it needs to mount the volume in a free drive to write some metadata on it. If you have no available drive, bacula can't operate. To solve this issue you probably need to declare a second drive like

Hello all, while I have running backup jobs the storage is running out of space (disk file changer volumes). As the pool (pool2) that is currently written has already been truncated (manually some weeks ago), recycling of volumes does not create free space. I thus wanted to truncate volumes fr
