Hi Phil, Here is the pool definitions I'm using.
Is there some way I can get the entire "disk" pool volumes purged when they expire, so they are all truncated and all that space is released. I don't need them once they are copied to tape. Would a migrate job instead of a copy job work better in this regard? # Scratch pool definition Pool { Name = Scratch Pool Type = Backup Cleaning Prefix = "CLNU" } ## Tape Pool Definitions # Daily Tape Pool Definition Pool { Name = Daily-Tape-Pool Pool Type = Backup Storage = Tape Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 13 days Cleaning Prefix = "CLNU" RecyclePool = Scratch Volume Use Duration = 23h RecycleOldestVolume = yes File Retention = 12 days Job Retention = 12 days } # Weekly Tape Pool Definition Pool { Name = Weekly-Tape-Pool Pool Type = Backup Storage = Tape Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 33 days Cleaning Prefix = "CLNU" RecyclePool = Scratch Volume Use Duration = 23h RecycleOldestVolume = yes File Retention = 32 days Job Retention = 32 days } # Monthly Tape Pool Definition Pool { Name = Monthly-Tape-Pool Pool Type = backup Storage = Tape Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 12 months Cleaning Prefix = "CLNU" RecyclePool = Scratch Volume Use Duration = 23h RecycleOldestVolume = yes File Retention = 1 year Job Retention = 1 year } # Yearly Tape Pool Definition Pool { Name = Yearly-Tape-Pool Pool Type = backup Storage = Tape Recycle = no AutoPrune = no Volume Retention = 10 years Cleaning Prefix = "CLNU" Volume Use Duration = 23h File Retention = 1 year Job Retention = 1 year } ## Disk Pool Definitions # Daily Disk Pool Definition Pool { Name = Daily-Disk-Pool Pool Type = Backup Label Format ="Daily-Disk-Vol-" Maximum Volume Bytes = 5000000000 Volume Retention = 1 days Volume Use Duration = 1 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 5 Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Storage = DailyStorage Next Pool = Daily-Tape-Pool Recycle Oldest Volume = yes Maximum Volumes = 350 Action on Purge = Truncate } # Weekly Disk Pool Definition Pool { Name = Weekly-Disk-Pool Pool Type = Backup Storage = WeeklyStorage Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Use Duration = 2 days Volume Retention = 2 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 5 Label Format ="Weekly-Disk-Vol-" Maximum Volume Bytes = 5000000000 Next Pool = Weekly-Tape-Pool Recycle Oldest Volume = yes Maximum Volumes = 300 Action on Purge = Truncate } # Monthly Disk Pool Definition Pool { Name = Monthly-Disk-Pool Pool Type = Backup Storage = MonthlyStorage Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Use Duration = 4 days Volume Retention = 4 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 5 Label Format ="Monthly-Disk-Vol-" Maximum Volume Bytes = 5000000000 Next Pool = Monthly-Tape-Pool Recycle Oldest Volume = yes Maximum Volumes = 800 Action on Purge = Truncate } # Yearly Disk Pool Definition Pool { Name = Yearly-Disk-Pool Pool Type = Backup Storage = YearlyStorage Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Use Duration = 3 days Volume Retention = 3 days Maximum Volume Jobs = 5 Label Format ="Yearly-Disk-Vol-" Maximum Volume Bytes = 5000000000 Next Pool = Yearly-Tape-Pool Recycle Oldest Volume = yes Maximum Volumes = 200 Action on Purge = Truncate } Thanks, Dermot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
