Hello,
I've got a client with this new bacula server that i want to be
completely automated in terms of volume and backup management, bacula won't
require any intervention for new volumes, as that will be automated. I've
got the below setup, my only question is my file, job, and volume retention
periods, are they right for hands off operations? Will they rotate on
schedule and not need new volumes?
Thanks.
Dave.
