Hello,
 
We are having Fujitsu Tape library with 2 magzines enabled with 23 Slots + 1 I/E slot. Recently we are falling short of the space in volumes for our daily backups.
 
1>  Is it possible to use the tapes defined in another Pools to be used in other??
 
Like we have this setup,
 
*list volumes
Pool: odd_week

Pool: Scratch
No results to list.
 
Can we make use of the volumes defined under special_backup and system_files pools , in the odd_week and even_week pools?
 
2> Secondly, we used to have 120 Days of Volume Rentention period
 
# Default pool definition
Pool {
  Name = odd_week
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 120 days         # 4 Months
Which we changed to be 90 days (3 Months)  , but still the "Last Written"  and "When Expire"  differs by 4 months (Please see above output). Why is it so?

 
 Any help is really appreciated.
 
Thanks,
admin
