Hi.

 Want to understand why bacula 5.0.2 don't want to use my tape until
it reach the MaximumVolJobs.

I have 2 pools:

Full-Backups
Diff-Backups

I will focus on Diff tapes.

Storage: Tape.

Pool Diff:

Pool {
  Name = CompanyDiffTape
  Pool Type = Backup
  Use Volume Once = no
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 72
  Maximum Volume Files = 0
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 0
  Volume Use Duration = 0
  Catalog Files = yes
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  dolume Retention = 180 days
  Label Format = TapeDiff-
}

U can see that I want to have 72 jobs on each tape and save the tape
for 180 days. The problem is that bacula is using the tape just 1
week, next week he wants a new volume, in one week I can 36 jobs, with
72 I can save 2 weeks.

Reading the db, I see that tape-a have just 36 jobs for 72 maximum,
them why on earth he want a new volume and not finish this one.

This happen every week.

Some could point me if I had issues with my settings?

Thanks!!!

Centos 5.5.
