Hello all,

I added another client to my diskbased system.
Due to an Antivirus program the incremental backups were nearly as big as
full ones - now the antivirus has been disabled so that is solved.
During testing to find the cause a lot of volumes of incremental type were
generated and now has to be deleted.

I infer from the manual that I can use the delete media bconsole command to
delete the volumes from the database,
and then delete them manually from the disk

Will all job and file records then be deleted also - and the state of the
database kept consistent?
Or is it necessary to prune or purge the volumes first?

No, the delete media command does what you need - remove jobs referencing the volume in question and afterwards remove the volume from the catalog.

I've never really verified this, but I dont think you need to fear later problems (as long as you thype the right volume names, of course).

I just want to be sure rather than surprised - any clarifications from
experienced people are welcome

regards

Steen
