Hi Ana,

Thanks for the explanation. Is this something that can be configured? Ideally I'd like Bacula to recycle/purge every volume that no longer has any jobs related to it. I was under the impression that AutoPrune would do this seeing as it does mark volumes are purged if run manually:

*prune yes volume=Vol-0104
The current Volume retention period is: 14 days
There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "Vol-0104". Marking it purged.

Have I configured AutoPrune incorrectly?

Best regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,

Yes. This is for preserving your data as long as possible. In your pool definition, you have configured:

Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something reasonable

Maximum Volumes = 100 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool

This way, Bacula will only recycle a volume if the limit of 100 volumes is reached and also if it could not find an appendable volume available in the pool. You have less then 50 volumes up to now.

Best regards,

Ana
