Hard-coded, huh? Nobody's tried backing up that big data I keep hearing about? Yes, but nobody was interested in changing it to the config parameter. It is possible that someone did that in 7.x, I need to check. No, there is no change in the hard coded 6 day limit, and at the moment, I personally am not planning to implement anything, for two reasons: 1. I would like to limit the number of new Directives to what is absolutely necessary because there are already more than I can remember.  2. In my opinion, any Job that runs more than 6 days is virtually destined to have problems during restore -- i.e. you will likely have backup dates that span 6 days of time in a single job.  That appears to me to be something very undesirable. Best regards, Kern   > Does it ask you for a new volume? No. Good guess, but the storage is a vchanger and it's working just fine. If you are using a vchanger then I guess it is a disk only backup, so why do you spool data? It is not required but making you backup slow down at least 2 times then standard job. You can define an attributes spooling only. best regards -- Radosław Korzeniewski rados...@korzeniewski.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
