Re: [Bacula-users] Volume not recycling?

I’m not the expert, so I could be wrong, but these are a few things I noticed.

I hope if I’m wrong, whether it be completely or in a detail, someone will correct me so I learn something from it myself.

- Looks like it’s a disk volume, and there’s no limit on volume size or job count or time, nor a “Use Volume Once”. I think it will just keep appending without ever starting a new volume.

- File & job retention 1 year, would span 12 full backups.

- Volume retention 1 month: that starts counting after the last write to the volume, not at day one. It also may never happen (or at least later than you expect, I don’t know if there’s a default maximum size) because there’s no limit on volume use.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Volume not recycling?

Hello!

I'm backuping a windows 2008 R2 64bits fileserver. I just want a full backup at 1st friday and incremental at another days.

Current Windows Used disk: 1.13 TB

Current Full backup Volume: 3.4 TB

Current Incremental backup Volume: 167 GB

Why my full backup volume is 3x more than my backuped disk?

Thanks.

OS: CentOS release 6.5

Bacula Version: 5.0.0
