Am I correct in thinking that Bacula does not clear the archive bit in Windows once the backup has been done?
For MSSQL databases, I run a nightly MSSQL job that backs up the transaction logs to a file (different file each backup). MSSQL has an option to delete these after x days, but it almost always goes wrong at some point and stops deleting them. At clients who use Backup Exec, I use a scheduled .bat file that does something like: 'DEL /S /A-A *.TRN' in the backup directory which deletes all the transaction log backup files (*.trn) with their archive bit cleared, which Backup Exec had cleared after the file was successfully backed up. Bacula appears to not clear the archive bit and so this technique won't work anyway. Not that I'd be completely happy with it as a solution anyway as the archive bit would be cleared when the fd had processed the file, but because of spooling there is still the potential for the backed up file to never make it to the backup media, but it would be better than nothing... Maybe a "Client Run After" script would be the solution? Any suggestions?
