Hello, I'm still looking for a way to predict which tapes bacula will try to recycle, so that I can pre-load our autochanger instead of having all backups halt with the "intervention needed" message. For example, I've got ~50 volumes in the "incremental" pool that are "full", but I don't know which ones to load into the changer to be recycled.
I understand that there's currently no way to run the recycle algorithm manually. I was considering the querying the database to produce a list of full volumes, reverse sorted by the age of the newest backup per volume. This list would tell me which are the "oldest" tapes (where the age is given by the newest backup per volume, not the first use of a volume). Does this seem like a reasonable approximation of the order in which bacula would recycle tapes (assuming that they are all in the changer, and assuming that all jobs per volume have the same retention period)? If so, I'd really appreciate some help with the SQL query to extract this data.
