Thank you for the response Brock! I think I understand the basic concept
more - so if I want 7 days of backups, I should ensure that my records in
the catalog stay longer than that, hence I should increase my volume
retention, job retention and file retention? I've now incorporated the
following config for each of my pools:
Pool {
Name = example.com
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Auto Prune = yes
Volume Retention = 14d
File Retention = 14d
Job Retention = 14d
Label Format = "example.com-"
Volume Use Duration = 7d
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Action On Purge = truncate
Storage = examplestorage
Maximum Volumes = 2
}
The idea here is that I can have 14 days of records for jobs, volumes and
files in the catalog. I have set the use duration of each volume to 7 days
and maximumum of 2 volumes so that I can have automatic rotation of
volumes. Do you think I am on the right track with this config?
For the second part you've suggested - I understand what the truncate on
volume does, however I do not understand how to use it automatically. Say I
keep 2 volumes per client as per the config I've described above. How can I
automatically truncate the oldest volume at the end of these 14 days
retention period for jobs, files and volumes? The script you've provided
does not know the age of the volume unfortunately.
