OK, the way I see it I have tow possibilities: * Take backup whit all retention times set to 60 days and (if possible) import an old volume from tape to the database when I need to restore files older then 60 days. If possible, how can I import old volumes that are purged form the database?
* Or I can set all retention times to 99 years and delete old volumes on
diskbackup whit `find /path -type f -name VolumeXXX -mtime + 60 -exec rm
{} \:` in a Run Befor Client option. Then I get a ENORMOUS database
after some time, but I can use bconsole and run delte on all diskbackup
jobs older then 60 days. Or is it possible to delete jobs from the
database in a script, how?
Help please ... any one?
