[Bacula-users] Manual Volume recycling and overwritten data
2009-01-13 08:47:57
Hi,
when manually recycling a (used) volume with
"update volume=xxx VolStatus=Recycle"
this volume will be accepted for overwriting. Nonetheless, Jobs that have been
written to that volume will NOT be removed from the catalog. This results in
invalid data, as the catalog will still contain data about volume content
that is no longer there.
Would you regard that as a bug? Or is it a PEBKAC, as I should not use the
update command to recycle volumes? Or ist it "just wait for these jobs to
expire via their retention period"? Any recommendations on how to handle
these cases?
dbcheck is not able to find these jobs, btw; they look absolutely valid in the
database, except for the fact that possibly two entries exist that point to
the same region on a tape.
Thx/best regards
Bastian Friedrich
