Every night bacula creates a new file, however although volume retention is
set to 2 days old files never get deleted. My question is, does volume
retention period only applies to the database entries and not the files? Or
is it possible to make bacula delete old files after some period of time?
Thanks,
Mantas.
Bacula can be configured to re-use disk files, but never to delete them. You
must delete them, yourself, outside of Bacula. There are several ways to do
this. One way is to write a shell script an run it as a run-before or
run-after Bacula job script. Another is to set up a cron job. Another, of
course, is just to do it manually from the command line.
Cheers!
