Phil:
Here are my retention settings:
===
Client {
Name = backula-fd
Address = backula
File Retention = 1 days
Job Retention = 6 months
}
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 days
}
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 9 days
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1400G
Maximum Volumes = 10
}
Client {
Name = tycho-fd
Address = tycho
File Retention = 1 days
Job Retention = 6 months
}
===
Is the client specific "File Retention" causing my problem? I suspect since
I'm making 'retention' definitions withing the Client {} it might be the root
of my problem. I know all my clients will be backed up the same, so I'd like
to have global settings inherited by all clients. I'm also a bit confused
(obviously) with:
File Retention
Job Retention
Volume Retention
Volume Use Duration
Thanks again!
