Is it possible the volumes in the pool still have the old retention period? Have you looked at list volumes to see if it gives you what you expect? Updating the config file won't change the parameters already set on existing volumes.


I didn't change the volume retention times in the config file as I set them as I wished initially. Then when the jobs that used the "Default" pool (which was set at 100 years) disappeared, I looked into the matter further. That's when I changed the job and file retention times in my client resources and SIGHUPed the bacula-dir process. Next I ran bscan to rebuilt the job and file records. But every night the associated job and file records still get pruned.

Thanks for your help!

for one setting something to 100 years could easily hit a number border somewhere and cause unexpected behaviour why don't you just turn off auto pruning and set a reasonable retention period (that is as long as you intend to actually keep your backups)
