Hi everyone, here's what i want to achieve: I'm, using bacula to backup a set of servers to tape. I have let's say 20 tapes. i want to make full backups every night from mon - fri. since i want to use a different tape every day, i specified the "Maximum Volume Jobs" on the pool. i want to keep track what exactly is on what tape for one year, so i set "Job Retention" and "File Retention" to 1 year. I want to keep a tape offsite on an unregular basis (for example after an important system change). and every tape should not be used at leat one week after it's last backup. So i set "Volume Retention" to 1 week and "Recycle Current Volume" to yes.
Now my question: Will bacula purge all volumes after 1 week or just the on it is recycling? Which would mean, i could not tell which file is on what tape without rereading it. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/question-about-retention-period-tp21463713p21463713.html Sent from the Bacula - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
