How can I set different file retention periods for each Fileset or job when they are on the same bacula client? From reading the docs it seems this can't be done since File retention is specified in the client resource, which is a problem for me (unless I'm missing something).

Suggestions anyone? I can do something like set long file retention period, do a db query to fine the File Records I don't want, and then purge them. But that seems very hackish compared to just specifying the File retention along with the job or file set and having bacula take care of the purging.

Has this been an issue for anyone else?

Also, I have different Pools, but that doesn't seem helpful because I need to keep all volume and job records for the same amount of time (1 year). However, for some jobs I don't need or want the file records because I'd only restore entire Filesets and there are millions of files, so the size of the catalog will be problematic. For other Filesets I do need all the file records since I'm most likely to restore individual files here and there.

Thanks,
Keith
