Hi all,
I'm sorry for disturbing you since I know deep inside that it can be a dumb
question :)
The question is:
I'm running Bacula without tape backups, using File as storage. There are 2
huge jobs (about 5-6 Gb for full backup) running and I've run out of free
space quickly.
Now when it came to this point I've tried to reconfigure the retention
periods and the Pool resource in order to free space by the Bacula means
only and found that I'm doing something wrong or smth like that because many
volumes and jobs are marked as purged but the corresponding files (say 5-6
Gb each) are still on disk...
How can I easily and correctly clean my storage to leave (and always have)
only the most current set of (1 Full Monthly + 4 Diff Weekly + 7 Inc Daily)
backups for each job?
Below are my current settings for the Pool and one of the Jobs.
Could someone look through and say that maybe something is wrong or
conflicting here... Thanks in advance.
