Hi list,

I have been testing bacula for a couple of days now but I am having some
problems grasping the volume management part of it.

What I would like to achieve is a configuration where every client has
its own pool with its own volumes. Furthermore, I would like to keep 21
volumes (one per day) for each client and automagically reuse (recycle)
those volumes at the end of the 3 week retention period. 

I have come up with this so far : 

Pool {
   Name = test01
   Pool Type = Backup
   AutoPrune = yes
   LabelFormat = "$Client-"
   Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 
   Maximum Volumes = 21
   Volume Use Duration = 23h
   Recycle = yes
   Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
}

Client {
   Name = test01
   Address = x.x.x.x
   FDPort = 9102
   Catalog = MyCatalog
   Password = "xxxxxx"
   File Retention = 21d
   Job Retention = 21d
   AutoPrune = yes
}

But I can't quite figure out if that's going to do what I want ...

Would anybody care to comment ?
