Yeah sorry about my english, I'm not so clear.
All these tapes are in the same pool, and the VOLUME retention is 18 days
(cause the first tape goes to the bank, the second becomes first after 20
days, and so on..).
I've read a lot about the retentions, I know that there is a thing about the
priority, something like :
VOLUME => JOBS => FILES.
I assume that I don't really understand the roles of the jobs and files
retention, any help is welcom on that one..
I don't do an "update slot" (you mean, manually ?). I thought I could set a
tape to the "used" status manually when it goes to the bank, but the point
is I don't want to do things manually.
Hope you get my point !
Thx !

Hey,
I was wondering if there is a way to tell bacula not to ask the oldest
tape
it wrote on..
I mean, when a tape is pruned, it's status come to "Recycle". Is there a
way
to put all the status tape to recycle (those who the retention is over,
that
means they could be pruned), and not only the oldest one ?
Why.. ?
Because I'm using 20 tapes, but every twenty days (one tape per day), one
tape goes to the bank. I take a new tape and the cycle goes on during
twenty
days etc..
The problème is, if I put a tape in the bank, 19 days later Bacula will
ask
me THIS special tape, which is not available (cause in the bank..).
Is there a solution for this problem or it is inherent to the way Bacula
actually works ?
Your description is a bit confusing.
Are these tapes all in the same pool? What is the retention period?
Read up on the retention periods for files, jobs, volumes.
Do you do an "update slots" after you remove the tape? Bacula
shouldn't ask for a tape that's not available.
