Re: [Bacula-users] match file/job retention to volume retention time

Hello Heitor, I'm not worried about the volumes (ie. storage space) but only about the metadata in the catalog/mysql database. I agree that the impact will be negligible with a few jobs/files but I want to configure all of my jobs to keep one "Full Run" for a year and with around 500 file daemons
