Hello
Marc,
Your
autoprune configurations seems ok for me. Bacula will delete
from catalog jobs/files older than 14 days and purge volumes
older than 14 days. In the case of volumes, they will not be
reused if Bacula finds an available volume for writing (status
= append) or if it can create a new one.
I
don´t know a solution with automatic label configuration where
you have space for new volumes and Bacula recycle/reuse an
existing one instead of creating a new one.
Your
problem is "This
is causing our disk based storage to fill up with unused
volume files."
If you
know exactly the amount of space you have for your backups,
you can limit the number/size of your volumes to fit in this
amount of space. In the case of your pool configuration, you
will use 5 TB (50G x 100 volumes). This will be the total
amount of space that will be used by your pool.
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Action On Purge = Truncate
Volume Retention = 14 days # Max retention
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 100 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Label Format = "Vol-" # Auto label
}
