-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am setting up Bacula right now for the first time and have pretty much everything working, but have one nagging concern. Since Bacula was designed around tape backup systems, it supports recycling of volumes so that they can be used again after a certain period of time. However, I do not think that this is very useful for a hard drive-based backup setup.
My setup currently is using the three pool system (Full-Diff-Incr) that is mentioned in the Bacula documentation. My labeling scheme produces a unique label for every volume (1 job per volume). When a volume reaches a certain age, based on the pool that it is in, I want the volume to be deleted from disk instead of recycled. You can purge files from the database as part of the configuration, but I don't see any way to have Bacula delete volumes over a certain age. How can this be achieved? I am using Bacula 2.4.4 for my director, storage, and all file daemons, with the director and storage daemons running on a current Linux install and the backups being stored onto their own hard drive. I can post config files if needed.
