If I have understod it right will the volume be purged/deleted before the retention time for files, jobs and volume stored on the specific volume. And to restore files you need both the volume (where the files are stored) and the job info (stored in the database, not on the volume).
My problem is the backupstrategi we use here. We take incremental backup
to disk every working day, but once a month we take full backup to tape.
So fare, all is good. BUT we have all the 12 month-tapes stored for a
year, and we also have a year-tape who is stored for all future. The
consequence of this is that I have to set job retention to something
like "for all times"!?!
Most restores are done on files lost less the a month ago ... but form
time to time I have to go to tape and get older files. But if job
retention is set to never expire all files will be stored on disk as
well for all time ... and I will run out of diskspace.
Is there some things I can do to be able to restore files older then one
month (form tape, but not loos the job-info stored in the database)?
Will deleting `rm VolumeXX` from the disk and setting job retention to
99 years do the trick? Or will that just F****P everything?
