Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Error: Max Volume jobs exceeded

Hi,

The messages are ok. Bacula recycled your volume and then marked it as used because one job finished writing (you have configured Maximum Volume Jobs = 1. This way only one job will use your volume).

I've an incremental backup configured with the parameters below,

----
Pool {
Name = "Backup_mailboxes_zimbra-Pool-Inc"
Label Format = "${Job}-${Level}-${NumVols:p/4/0/r}-${Year}_${Month}_${Day}-${Hour}_${Minute}"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 17 days
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 17
}
----

Today, during the executing, the max number of volumes was execeed, so the system purged the older volume, as expected (Backup_mailboxes_zimbra-Incremental-0002-2014_8_9-8_23).

"bck.vi.pt-dir JobId 38243: There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "Backup_mailboxes_zimbra-Incremental-0002-2014_8_9-8_23". Marking it purged."

However, after purge the volume, the system returned the error "Max Volume jobs exceeded".

It's the normal behaviour?
Bacula needs 2 jobs in this kind of situation (1 for purged and other for the "real" backup)?

Do you mean 2 jobs or 2 volumes? When Bacula needs a volume, it will try to find an appendable one. If this could not be possible, Bacula will try to find an existing one that is suitable for recycling. And this was your case. Bacula found a volume that it could recycle and did it. Ypur backup failed because of connections problems with the client.

Where are your date/times in your log file?

Best regards,

Ana

The comuncation ports between server and client are OK.
