At the moment, one of my client machines is switched off, deliberately. Bacula tries to back it up overnight, but fails because it cannot connect to the client.
Before doing this, it prunes and purges successfully, according to the retention rules. My thought is that if this machine is left off for an extended periopd of time, I could end up in a situation where all the backups are removed. I understand there is a new option to truncate backup files on prune/purge as well, so there is even the potential for the backup to be deleted, as well as the catalog. So my question is this - should backups be pruned, purged and truncated automatically if the backup fails? -- Mike Holden http://www.by-ang.com - the place to shop for all manner of hand crafted items, including Jewellery, Greetings Cards and Gifts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
