This is normal behavior, if configured correctly (Maximum Volume Size, N. Volumes) the volumes will be recycled and the data consumption will not pass your limits once you reach your settings.
The retention periods are applied only for catalog records, this means that even if a volume is Purged or its retention period has reached, BAREOS will not do anything to the volume but it may reuse that volume and write new data to it. There is a valid reason for this in larger systems where you don't have immediate access to tapes. However, for file-based backups probably those settings are not configured and it will create volumes indefinitely. Since this is not an easy answer depending on the strategy you want to follow, I would suggest to look at: https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/VolumeManagement.html On Thursday, November 9, 2023 at 9:42:11 AM UTC+1 Yariv Hazan wrote: > Hi, > When using bconsole to delete jobs disk space doe not seem to be free. > How do I delete the job and have the data removed form disk? > Thanks, > Yariv > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
