Thank you for your response. I understand that since the longest retention period for backups in my
config is 30 days, I should set Volume Retention option to 30. Is this a correct assumption?
The volume retention needs to be set to 30 days, 30 would be 30 seconds.
What if I wanted to set retention per client? Like 30 days for web servers, and 7 days for develop
environment.
You need to create a pool for data with similar retention periods, so a pool "webservers" with a
retention of 30 days and a pool "develop" with a retention of 7 days.
Then you need to make sure that the jobs doing the backups write into the
correct pool.
If you are using disk volumes, you probably want to configure "volume use duration" to 23 hours so
that every day a new volume is created and after the volume retention has passed a full volume can
be recycled.

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