Hi,

I've got a rather interesting issue with a Bacula 2.0.0 install.

The bacula instance is set to write to tape Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, and to disk on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Level = Full Pool=MondayPool Storage=Tape Monday at 22:00
Run = Level = Full Pool=TuesdayPool Storage=File Tuesday at 22:00
Run = Level = Full Pool=WednesdayPool Storage=Tape Wednesday at 22:00
Run = Level = Full Pool=ThursdayPool Storage=File Thursday at 22:00
Run = Level = Full Pool=FridayPool Storage=Tape Friday at 22:00

Unfortunately it appears that on a Wednesday, it attempts to write to
disk rather than tape, even though it is not instructed to do so. The
disk volume becomes full and starts to create a significant number of
zero length volumes.

Any ideas why Bacula is ignoring what I have told it?

Cheers
Tim

No, but I would not suggest running 2.0.0 -- a point zero release of
anything is generally bad news, no matter how great the developers are. :)

Though, you might check that you have reloaded after editing the config
file. And besides, doesn't it normally write (in 2.0.x) where it got the
idea to use what tape and what pool and what storage? I've seen things
like "host_DDS (from schedule)" or equivalent.
