you need the "update" command (see http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#ConsoleCommands) to update the rentention times of existing volumes. This hasn't changed between 14.2.2 and current, however, using the current stable (16.2.4) is of course recommended, especially since 14.2.2 had a serious bug, see release notes of 14.2.4: http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#ReleaseNotes regards, Jörg -- Jörg Steffens [email protected] Bareos GmbH & Co.
