It seems not, I have tested again this time with more than one full job:
*list jobs
...
| 20 | jobBackupOddball | 2006-09-01 14:46:43 | B | F |
2 | 14 | T |
| 22 | jobBackupOddball | 2006-09-01 14:50:21 | B | F |
2 | 14 | T |
| 27 | jobBackupOddball | 2006-09-01 23:05:08 | B | I |
0 | 0 | T |
A recent prune at 1:18am only removed the incremental, leaving these:
| 20 | jobBackupOddball | 2006-09-01 14:46:43 | B | F |
2 | 14 | T |
| 22 | jobBackupOddball | 2006-09-01 14:50:21 | B | F |
2 | 14 | T |
which seems to go against what the comments for function prune_jobs() in
ua_prune.c describe:
" * Purging Jobs is a bit more complicated than purging Files
* because we delete Job records only if there is a more current
* backup of the FileSet. Otherwise, we keep the Job record.
* In other words, we never delete the only Job record that
* contains a current backup of a FileSet. This prevents the
* Volume from being recycled and destroying a current backup."
it suggests jobid 20 should have been pruned.
