Hi,

I just upgraded our BareOS setup from version 21 to version 23 and just noticed a few deprecation messages inside our config. From the changelog i found  this PR https://github.com/bareos/bareos/pull/1425 <https://github.com/bareos/bareos/pull/1425>. But my question is do we still need these values or can we remove them? And if we remove them what would happen to the catalog? Are old records still pruned?Yes, they are pruned when the job that they belong to is pruned from the database, usually when the
medium that holds the job is recycled.

The deprecated directives only were used by the "Autoprune" mechanism in the client where the job and file entries in the database could be removed BEFORE the medium that they are stored on is recycled.

As we at Bareos think that it does not make sense to lose information about jobs that you still have on your media, the AutoPrune setting in the client was "no" per default.

The default setup in bareos prunes the file and job information from the database when the volume holding job is recycled.

See also the documentation for the client autprune (which is deprecated):
https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Client_AutoPrune

And the pool autoprune (which is the bareos default way of pruning):
https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Pool_AutoPrune
