Still another view in addition to the Arno's reply, that courages to use different pools too: If you put jobs with different retention periods into the same pool, they'll also be mixed into the same volumes, and all the jobs with shorter retention time will occupy storage space until you can recycle the whole volume. Though you can prune the catalog earlier, there is no way to partially free the storage space from the volume although the file/job retention times would allow this for certain jobs. So, in your example above (if it were possible at all) you would keep all the daily incrementals in the storage media until the freshest full (saturday) job on that media were at least 1 year old (provided the volume retention was set to 1 year too). This could result in a huge need for storage. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
