Re: [Bacula-users] mark a tape as full after more jobs

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello Luis,

Yes, there are two other ways.  The first and most=20
automatic is if you know exactly how many jobs you
will run each day, you simply set your
Pool resource to have:

  Maximum Volume Jobs =3D nnn

where nnn is the number of jobs you run each day.
Please note that this number is pulled from the Pool
when the Volume is created, so for existing volumes,
you will need to modify MaxVolJobs manually with

  update volume=3Dxxx

in the Console.

The second way to do this, and possibly more flexible is
to run a special "admin" job after all your normal backup
jobs have run (perhaps even the job that backs up your
database). In this job, you could use:

  RunAfterJob =3D "some-shell-script"

and "some-shell-script" would look like the
following:

#!/bin/sh
path/console -c path/console.conf <<END_OF_DATA
update volume=3Dxxx
...
END_OF_DATA

where you would replace ... by the appropriate
commands to modify the VolStatus to be Full or
Used.  The problem with this particular scheme
is that you must somehow find the volume name
currently being used -- not always so easy.

Best regards,

Kern

PS: By the way, with version 1.31 (current CVS)
you don't need to figure out all the commands
(numbers, ...) to enter to update the volume,
you simply say:

  update volume=3Dxxx volstatus=3DFull
