Re: [Bacula-users] Tapes not recycling: VolStatus = Error, all job are

Thanks for the responses.

I successfully set the volume status to "Used" and then tried to prune the offending volume. Bacula asked if I wanted to modify the retention period, which is currently set to be 1 year. I chose yes and tried setting it to 1 day. Then I "list volumes" and the volume still has the same retention period in the pool (1 year).

Next I tried to purge the volume and Bacula reponds with:

"0 Files on Volume "June08-02" purged from catalog."

I should also mention that originally the volumes showing up as an error were added to the pool using "add" rather than label.

Any other ideas or suggestions I can try?

Thanks for the support.

It's better to first set the volume status to "Used" and then prune or
purge the volume - otherwise, the catalog will not be cleared of data
that is no longer valid.
