Setting up two clients is the only safe way to do it. The JobRetention and FileRetention in the pool do override the settings in the client, but not in a useful way. The problem is that autopruning runs after every job, but it uses the retention time from the job's pool or client. That single retention time is applied to all other backups for the client, even those from other pools. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
