[Bacula-users] files pruned immediately after backup

[Justin T Pryzby]

Hi Everyone,

I'm attempting to configure a semi-permanent full monthly backup, in
addition to a weekly full backup with 4 daily incrementals.

When last month's backup completed, it seems to have immediately
pruned the files from the catalog:

| Termination:            Backup OK

| 03-May 22:37 ariel-dir JobId 156: Begin pruning Jobs.
| 03-May 22:37 ariel-dir JobId 156: No Jobs found to prune.
| 03-May 22:37 ariel-dir JobId 156: Begin pruning Files.
| 03-May 22:37 ariel-dir JobId 156: Pruned Files from 3 Jobs for client 
ariel-fd from catalog.
| 03-May 22:37 ariel-dir JobId 156: End auto prune.

I'm not sure why, since the month pool has "AutoPrune = no" (2 new
tapes were added to the pool), the job doesn't have "prune=yes", and
the client has "File Retention = 30 days".  The relevant pool has
"Volume Retention = 15y".

Any help is much appreciated.  A pruned director config is attached.

Thanks,
Justin
