Hi all,
I'm running Bacula 2.4.2 off a FreeBSD 7.0 server using a DDS-3 tape drive.
I'm using a Grandfather/father/son tape rotational scheme where I back up
the data and the catalog as two nightly jobs onto a tape each time that it
runs. All is well. Except for the monthly full backup. It will start the
data backup and complete it. It starts the catalog backup job and report
that it cannot find any appendable volume. I have to cancel that job in
order to get going with the next backup job. Monthly backup jobs are
scheduled the first Saturday of each month.
The weird thing is- the monthly job definition is exactly the same as the
weekly job definitions. I have absolutely no issues with the weekly jobs nor
with the daily jobs.

The llist media output shows that only one job was completed on this tape
meaning there is room for one more job.
The only thing I can think of that would explain this behavior is the fact
due to a department policy requiring all tapes used on any given day use the
same name- i.e. Month-0007 across all backup servers- caused me to have to
purge the contents of that volume before I can use it. This one server
happened to have the monthly tape name that was a month behind all other
servers. So I have been manually purging and making sure it is marked
'recycle' the day before each monthly backup. This will continue for one
year until all of the tapes are in line. This policy was put into effect
last June and since then I have been seeing this issue each month.
Does anyone have a clue as to why I am experiencing this issue with only the
monthly backup jobs and not with any of the other jobs?
I apologize for this lengthy mail although I feel it gives you the necessary
information up front.
