Hello,

instead of using these two deprecated directives, you should use the autopuning in the pool directive to recycle your volumes together with the Volume retention directives in the pool.

See:
https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Pool_AutoPrune
and:
https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Pool_VolumeRetention

Here you also have a description how it works.

This mechanism will clean up your database when a volume is recycled; all data 
that is recoverable
will still be in the database.

In case you need to change your pool's volume retention, do not forget to apply the pool settings to all volumes in the pool via the command "update volumes"

Best regards,

Philipp

Hello,
Is there an alternative option for AutoPrune and JobRetention? Both are deprecated (https:// docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Client_AutoPrune <https://docs.bareos.org/ Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Client_AutoPrune>):

Sep 26 12:54:04 bareos.local bareos-dir[91769]:  * using deprecated keyword JobRetention on line 9 of file /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/client/web01-fd.conf Sep 26 12:54:04 bareos.local bareos-dir[91769]:  * using deprecated keyword AutoPrune on line 10 of file /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/client/web01-fd.conf

I use them in every client's configuration. Example:

/Client {
(...)
   File Retention = 30 days
   Job Retention = 6 months
   AutoPrune = yes
}/
/
/
File Retention works, meaning I cannot restore backups older than the value set in this option. However, it seems that the backups aren't being deleted from the disk, as the disk usage still increasing./
