Hi guys, I need some clarification regarding the terms "retention time" and "prune":
"Retention time": The time a file record and/or job record is stored in the database. For example: "File retention = 30 days" means that a file record is stored in the database for 30 days. If you do a restore in this time you are able to select the file directly. After day 30 you can just restore the whole job without a selection by files "Prune": With the "AutoPrune" directive a volume is marked as "recycled" and can be reused when the volume retention period is over. But the volume isn't automatically rewritten unless "Recycle = yes" is present, right? My second question is whether it is possible for bacula to delete a volume (also the created volume file on a hard disk) after a specific amount of time (e.g. 4 weeks)? So I create a backup at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month bacula is automatically deleting all records from the database (File/Job/Volume retention would apply here?) and also deletes the created volume file from the disk. Thank you very much for enlightening me, Daniel Heitepriem ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
