Kern,
Just for information : pruning a volume, like D04, take about 1 (big)
minute to be done. (Bacula 1.36.2 sarge + sqlite)
Rico,
I saw that an Admin job run Autoprune so I think that I can use an Admin
job as a workaround like this :
# other jobs use the same schedule an have a priority on 10
# I have no concurrent job
Job {
Name = force_pruning
JobDefs = DefaultJob
Type = Admin
Client = hunter-fd
FileSet= default
Schedule = "ServerMonthlyCycle"
Priority = 9
}
I will try it for this WE.
Have a nice day :o)
