I have a copy job which copies my full backups to a USB drive using
vchanger once a week.
Recently, the backups have been exceeding the 1TB size of a single USB
drive, which would be fine, I'll just use more than one drive.
What isn't fine is that bacula is recycling its volumes too quickly.
What I expect to happen is that it will fill up the USB drive, (run
out of volumes) then wait for another USB drive to be attached,
instead of recycling/purging the volumes it just wrote. Here's a log
snippet:
Did you change the retention period after you created volumes? If so did you use the bconsole commands to apply the new pool settings to the existing volumes?
