Yes, the actual value is 13, and it caused the problem. 

In my opinion,  the first week , bacula created successfully the monday incremental backup, and its status was "USED" but it had to be wait 13 days.
During that time, in the second week, bacula tried to write again to the same volume that is not pruned so it caused the problem. And maybe it hangs the remain jobs.

Is it right ? 

Or do you have any suggestion ?

Hi Sieu,

If you have changed the "volume retention" for your volumes in the pool configuration, this change only is applied to new volumes created. For the volumes that were already in the catalog, you should run an "update volume" through bconsole and change this value there too.

Since you said that you have changed from 6 to 13 days your retention periods, I´m supposing maybe this is your problem with  "is waiting on max storage jobs".

Best regards,
Ana

sorry for my mistake, in the pools.conf, the value of parameter "Volume Retention" is all 13 days, not 6 days as above.

        #recyclepool= mardi
        Maximum Volumes = 1
        Recycle Current Volume = yes
        Label Format = "tuesday-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"

        Name = wednesday
        Pool Type = Backup

        Pool Type = Backup
        AutoPrune = yes
        Volume Retention = 13 days
        Volume Use Duration = 1 days
        Recycle = yes
        recyclepool= dimanche_impair
        Maximum Volumes = 1
        Recycle Current Volume = yes
        Label Format = "sunday_odd-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}"
}

storages.conf
     Storage {
Name = FileStorage
Address = "192.168.56.10"
SDPORT = 9103
Password = "test"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}

There wasn't any problem in the first week, but since the second week, i got a lot of messages of "is waiting on max storage jobs" from almost the jobs.

Some of them got "is waiting for an appendable volume"

Can you suggest me what to solve it ?
