And as I like to do the next differential job that follows a full backup
also on a fresh tape, I am running the following SQL after completion of
a full backup:
mark_used() {
jobname="$1"
$SQLITE 2>&1 <<EOF
UPDATE media
SET volstatus = 'Used'
WHERE mediaid IN (
SELECT distinct media.mediaid
FROM media, job, jobmedia
WHERE job.name = '$jobname'
AND media.volstatus = 'Append'
AND job.jobid = jobmedia.jobid
AND jobmedia.mediaid = media.mediaid
);
EOF
}
