Re: [Bacula-users] Automatic Volume generator on pool (and presentation)

Hello Guiseppe,

The volume use duration period begins from the time of first data written to the volume. And this specific time is a slightly different from the scheduled time for your first job writing to the volume.

In your case, you have your job scheduled to start at 23:05:00. The first data written will be 1 or more seconds after the job starts. When your job starts the next day at 23:05, the volume used the day before will still be available because it will be available for 24 hours, lets say until 23:05:02.

Given this situation, you can set your volume use duration to 23 hours (if your jobs will be writting to this volume for 23 hours, for example).

Best regards,

Hi!
I'm Giuseppe moscato aka peppeska from Milan (Italy).

I'm happy to have the opportunity to use Bacula system for work purpose!

I'm new in Bacula so I have a little question...

I have this Daily pool:

Pool {
Name = Daily
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes

AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 2 weeks

Label Format = VolDaily_
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G
Maximum Volumes = 100

#Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Recycle Current Volume = yes
#Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Use Duration = 24h
}

In this Pool I used "Volume Use Duration = 24h" 'cause I would like that bacula change Volume every day...
but this down not happen..

why??

Fro complete information i write my complete scheduling:
