Hi,

Is it possible to have a volume/pool with a variable retention, that
could say keep this volume until next Full or something ?

I mean the following scenario:

Imagine I have a schedule where I have a Full backup on monday, then
incremental on everyday up to next monday, where I have a subsquent Full
backup.
Next, I want to be sure to reuse the volume as I have only one week of
backup in it (ie one Full and 6 Incrementals), so I setup something
like:

 VolumeUseDuration=7 days
or
 VolumeMaxUse=7
or something like that.

Now imagine that for any reason (ie error on the first monday of the
cycle), my cycle starts on Tuesday, and the Incremental is promoted to
Full. Everything is fine except that on next Monday, my previous Full
won't be recycled... and I will for instance run out of space on my
volumes/pool...

Thanks for any answer,
