Hello Radoslaw

Thank you for your answer.

I have to more questions because I discover a new command in Bconsole :
"Prune"

To clean I use set the retention file at 0 days then I log in to Bconsole
and "prune client=my_client" after that I select "Files" and finaly 'yes'.
Do this action trucate all data associate to my_client ? I've got 115
critical server to backup, I don't want to mess this up :)

I would, but datas from every Client are in the volume, so I cannot simply
delete the volume, therefor we have a rotate of 4Go volumes.

That is a good Idea ! I noted it :)

- use action on purge = truncate

That's why we have to rethink all the stategy.

We have, around 80-90% data reduction.

- use filesystem level compression on storage daemon

I don't know about it ? What's that ?
