Re: [Bacula-users] Volumes getting reused before meeting retention
2009-12-15 06:46:32
Hi Timo.
Thanks for quick response.
Yes, the problem occurred because initial retention was changed and these volumes were present from start and hence using the same old config. After goggling i came to know that whenever retention is configured, the first volume created is used as prototype for the next volumes and hence inherits the same characteristics.
For resolving the problem i have gone to bat and manually edited all the problematic volumes and set the retention to new configuration policy and i think this will resolve my problem.

Are you aware that changing pool specs does NOT affect directly to the
existing volumes? Sounds like your volumes had different retention periods,
since some of them have this problem and the others don't.
a) you may use "llist media" (note the double-l like 'long') to view current
retention periods
b) if necessary, use bconsole "update" command to update the existing
volumes to follow the conf
Also remember that after altering the conf file you'll need to either
restart the director, or 'reload' the new conf before it takes control
