Counter Resource

The Counter Resource defines a counter variable that can be accessed by variable expansion used for creating Volume labels with the LabelFormat directive. See the LabelFormat directive in this chapter for more details.

Counter Start of the Counter resource. Counter directives are optional.

Name

Name = <name> The name of the Counter. This is the name you will use in the variable expansion to reference the counter value.

Minimum

Minimum = <integer> This specifies the minimum value that the counter can have. It also becomes the default. If not supplied, is zero assumed.

Maximum

Maximum = <integer> This is the maximum value value that the counter can have. If not specified or set to zero, the counter can have a maximum value of 2,147,483,648 (2 to the 31 power). When the counter is incremented past this value, it is reset to the Minimum.

Wrap Counter

WrapCounter = <counter-name> If this value is specified, when the counter is incremented past the maximum and thus reset to the minimum, the counter specified on the WrapCounter is incremented. (This is not currently implemented).

Catalog

Catalog = <catalog-name> If this directive is specified, the counter and its values will be saved in the specified catalog. If this directive is not present, the counter will be redefined each time that Bacula is started.
