Assuming you have a fixed number of volumes in the daily backup pool (i.e. you are not using Label Format), then you can set the file and job retention in the client to 2 years.  Since the volume retention in the daily pool is shorter, it will take precedence over the file and job retention in the client.  The file and jobs records for the second kind of backup will be retained for 2 years. This is described in the documentation for Volume Retention in http://www.bacula.org/9.0.x-manuals/en/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION0018150000000000000000 __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
