I'm not sure, but look at this directive (from
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html in the
Pool Resource):
AutoPrune = <yes|no>
If AutoPrune is set to yes (default), Bacula (version 1.20 or
greater) will automatically apply the File retention period and the
Job retention period for the Client at the end of the Job. If you set
AutoPrune = no, pruning will not be done, and your Catalog will grow
in size each time you run a Job. Pruning affects only information in
the catalog and not data stored in the backup archives (on Volumes).
I suggest this because my pool is:
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
}
