There is no simple long-term solution. You can turn off AutoPrune temporarily and reload the config before doing the bscan if you need to do a restore. You could then modify the clientid for those jobs in the Jobs table to refer to the new archiving client. __Martin > > > John > > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Simmons [mailto:mar...@lispworks.com] > Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 1:56 PM > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Retention Policy Pruning Files? > >>>>> On Wed, 7 Apr 2010 09:43:12 -0600, May, John said: > > > > Whenever I archive files, I always put them in an 'Archive' pool I created > > After only about a week or two, I am no longer able to restore because I > > get the following message: > > > > You have selected the following JobId: 686 > > > > Building directory tree for JobId(s) 686 ... > > > > For one or more of the JobIds selected, no files were found, > > so file selection is not possible. > > Most likely your retention policy pruned the files. > > > > Do you want to restore all the files?
