Hi Gary...
If you are talking about not having the DATA on your volumes being
over-written then I would create a pool called something like "Archive" with a
very long retention period. Then determine which volumes have the jobs on them
that you do not want to lose and move them into that pool.
Also, since you probably don't want the jobs running any more, what I normally
do is create a schedule called "Manual" with no run definitions like so:
Schedule {
Name = Manual
}
and set the Job's schedule to Manual. This way, I can start any of these jobs
manually (they are not disabled) any time I want/need, but they will no longer
run on the nightly schedule.
Hope this helps.
