Good morning,
We have been running Bacula on a few webservers with great success but
we find we need to reduce the retention period on one server. We
currently have the following setup.
Pool {
Name = Inc-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 8 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
LabelFormat = "Inc-"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 6
Maximum Volumes = 5
}
Pool {
Name = Diff-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 35 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
LabelFormat = "Diff-"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 5
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Accept Any Volume = yes
LabelFormat = "Full-"
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 6
}
Frankly it is more than we need and is taking up a considerable amount
of space. I would like to reduce it but I am not sure how to do so
without losing data.

I am looking at changing my pools to a full backup each week for a
month, and a differential each day through the week. The million dollar
question is how can I tell Bacula to do the pruning for me so I retain
the proper data.
Thanks,
DAve

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
