I have a backup setup that takes a full backup once a month and incremental
backup's each day during the month. I am keeping two months worth of data. I
write to files on the local disk and they are labeled something like
Backup_2009-02-13. What I would like to happen is that when something is
over ~2 months old it is removed. Bacula is pruning records and I see that
the media is listed as Purged, but it is still counted as media and so my
limit of 60 on my daily pools is full.
Is there a way to make it so that when a media record is at a certain age
(at which point all associated jobs and files have been purged) and so it is
marked Purged to actually have it automatically be removed (deleted) from
the catalog so that bacula doesn't think its hit its limit on the number of
pieces of media.
I do not have my media being recycled, and when I tried enabling that on one
of the media marked as Purge it used it again just fine, but it did not
relabel it as I had hoped it would with the current date.
What I thought would be nice to have is files corresponding to the last 60
days called Backup_2009-02-13 , etc... , but maybe I'd be better off not
making the files have a particular date and just have 60 files that get used
over and over again (by recycling the old ones). Thanks for your help.
