Hi, folks,
One urgent question: server is running CentOS 6.8, and bareos 15.2.2. We
just ran out of 20TB of disk space over the weekend. So, how do I make bareos
give up disk space? I've googled, and tried prune and then purge... however,
after that I see no more space on the drive.
Now, I've just changed all the configuration (one pool per workstation being
backed up) from 100 vol (the default) to 45, and job to 60.
Further googling shows someone doing an rm .../storage/ etc; this seemed a
little dangerous. I see someone else using a parameter of "truncate" with purge.
So, question 1: what's the *correct* way to make volumes go away, and
recover the disk space?
Question 2: I have users who come and go (students, work-study, etc) in the
group whose PC's I'm backing up, and they *do* want to save the work that past
folks have done. What's the correct way to set those up so that bareos does
*not* delete the last backups, ever? I have this set up with a master conf
file, which then @bareos-dir.d/<workstation>.conf. Is just commenting the
workstation.conf out and restarting bareos good enough, or do I need to issue a
command in bconsole?
