When Bacula was first configured it was set to autorecycle/autoprune and
with a retention period of 4 months. But I still see volumes of over a
year ago.
Here is the Pool config:
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 4 months
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Recycle = Yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = Yes
Label Format = "FileBackup-${Client}-job
${JobId}-${Year}-${Month}-${Day}"
}
Any ideas?
