[Bacula-users] Bacula volume (tape) rotation out of order
2008-05-08 19:34:00
Hi All, I'm new to bacula and this has been dumped in my lap to
magically fix somehow, so please excuse any lack of knowledge in my email! After reading the bacula documentation, lots of google and a few other mailing lists and forums I am
still a tad confused over this issue and yet to find a resolution so hopefully someone can assist me.
Basically my problem is that the tape rotation order has somehow gone awry.
The rotation we use is WEEK1_001 to WEEK1_005 (Thursday to Wednesday, no
changes on weekends) and that changes between two lots of tapes, WEEK1
and WEEK2 which are alternatively stored off site. The tapes are
manually swapped and mounted each morning by myself because the automount script 'someone' wrote doesn't always work .
For some reason the rotation order has changed completely and now
looks something like this (taken from the log files when bacula
requests the next tape); 1_3 1_3 1_3 2_2 2_2 2_2 2_2 2_3 1_5 1_5 2_3, 1_1 1_2 1_4 2_1
The
job schedule hasn't changed, the tapes haven't been relabelled or
marked as non-recyclable nor has an incorrect tape been inserted out of
order, so it has me stumped on what caused it and what I need to do to
fix this to get back to the correct order.
Unfortunately the preceding sysadmin only really taught me how to mount
and run the basic status commands which means I am learning this all
from scratch.
Running bacula Version: 1.38.11 (28 June 2006) on Debian 3.1 (Linux 2.6.18-6-686).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards, Mark
