Hi All,
I have two questions about file based volumes:
Here is my bacula Incremental pool config:
Pool {
Name = “STR-Inc"
LabelFormat = "STRInc-"
Pool Type = "Backup"
Recycle = "yes"
Autoprune = "yes"
Volume Retention = 8 days
Maximum Volumes = 9
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
}
1: I changed the Volume Retention last month in order to purge older volumes to save disk space, but I still have these volumes older than 8 days, here is the directory list where the volumes are stored.
Jul 5 07:56 | STRFull-0129 |
Aug 2 06:10 | STRFull-0810 |
Aug 15 23:56 | STRDiff-0138 |
Aug 22 23:54 | STRDiff-0139 |
Aug 30 00:04 | STRDiff-0133 |
Sep 6 06:36 | STRFull-0135 |
Sep 6 23:28 | STRInc-0515 |
Sep 7 23:37 | STRInc-0134 |
Sep 8 23:38 | STRInc-0563 |
Sep 9 23:34 | STRInc-0592 |
Sep 10 23:33 | STRInc-0655 |
Sep 11 23:33 | STRInc-0676 |
Sep 12 23:50 | STRDiff-0625 |
Sep 13 23:30 | STRInc-0131 |
Sep 14 23:33 | STRInc-0333 |
Sep 15 23:33 | STRInc-0365 |
Sep 17 23:33 | STRInc-0421 |
Sep 16 23:33 | STRInc-0392 |
Sep 18 23:32 | STRInc-0461 |
Sep 20 00:04 | STRDiff-0144 |
Sep 20 23:28 | STRInc-0490 |
Ideally what I wanted was to remove the volumes over 8 days old. What is the way to achieve this.
2: If I disable recycling (recycle=no). Will bacula always create a new volume. I sync these volumes to a remote site and look at the volume names ( they are very big and am looking for a way to not do md5 hashes). So I need a new volume name every time data is written. Doesnt matter if the name was historically used.
Thanks in advance.
