To: John Drescher <dresche...@gmail.com> Makes perfect sense. I was operating under the wrong impression before that they were calculated from the same timestamp which is why rentention and Volume Use Duration were the same value. I'm going to keep the volume use durations the same, and significantly lower the retention periods to force the volumes to recycle very soon after Volume use duration marks them as used. You've been a great help so far and made me realize I need to redo my configs. What about my original question though? Does bacula look within a specific volume for the latest full back up and use that, or does it simply grab the newest one from the jobID? My concern was incremental/differential backups with a longer volume use duration/retention period than the full back ups that they may be based upon. -Melvin On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 1:40 PM, John Drescher <dresche...@gmail.com> wrote: > > After a volume is marked Full or Used the retention period begins and > is calculated from the last written date/time that is on the volume. > Make sense? > > John -- John M.
