There is no mechanism in Bacula to set specific individual expiry dates on a per-volume basis, no. That's such a niche need you are the only user so far to have ever asked for it, and may well be the only one ever to ask for it. There is no facility at this time to generate a separate report when a volume expires and is purged, but it's a fairly simple task to create a script that uses the console to generate a regular report of purged volumes. If it keeps a state log of what it has reported in the past, it could equally easily report only newly-pruned volumes. I don't know whether that would meet your reporting needs, though. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
