Sounds like you had file retention, or job retention, set to 180 days? Btw, they are client-spesific, while volume retention is volume spesific, so they are spesified in a different place in the conf file. Also note, that - volume retention is the minimum time the volume info will be kept, it stays in the catalog until the volume is recycled, which may take much longer (depends on your site) - any changes to volume retention in the conf file affect primarily to the new volumes created thereafter. To apply to older volumes, use update pool and update volume commands in bconsole. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
