I would like to prune based on the volume retention I set in pool
resources, not based upon client. In reading the docs, I found that
auto pruning can occur based on statements in both the client and pool
resources. Thus I set all of my client resources file and job retention
times to 100 years, assuming this would prevent any auto pruning from
occurring based upon the clients. Then I set my various pool resources
volume retention times as I wished.
However I have one pool "Default" that I really don't want to prune
automatically and thus I set its volume retention time to 100 years. I
assume it's associated job (and thus file?) records were pruned
initially because of the 60 default retention times for clients. Now
I've made the changes to bacula-dir.conf and SIGHUPed the process. But
after running bscan to rebuild the job and file records, it still gets
pruned every night.
Can someone explain what I'm missing? Hopefully before tonight? :)
The client and pool resource portions of my bacula-dir.conf file follow.
Thanks,
Drew
