The second is kind of historical, with tapes root : how can a software act on a physical media that is perhaps not in the system ? ;-)
You decide to remove a media from the running system (essentially removing records from the database). But if this one is a tape that is stored on an extenal shelve. No one excepting you can destroy it physically. There's an option you can discover in documentation and use it Action On Purge = <ActionOnPurge> This directive Action On Purge=Truncate instructs Bareos to truncate the volume when it is purged with the purge volume action=truncate command. It is useful to prevent disk based volumes from consuming too much space. Or decide that you prefer to remove manually a media ... -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux 4.8.14-1-default x86_64 GNU/Linux, nvidia: 375.20 Qt: 5.7.0, KDE Frameworks: 5.29.0, Plasma: 5.8.4, kmail2 5.4.0 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
