add "Volume Retention" to pool resource in bacula-dir.conf, example: Pool { ... Volume Retention = 6 days } (http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/ Configuring_Director.html#9184) * restart bacula-dir (or reload on console) * on console: update volumes -> Volumes parameters -> All Volumes from all Pools - Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
