I am confused about how to get backup jobs to be automatically removed and for
disk files to be recycled and reused for backs. I created a schedule that runs
diff tues-friday morning and two different retention base backups on Saturday
morning. I set the retention of the differentials ot 7 days and 1 base job to
retention of 30 days and the other to 90 days. After the 7 days are up for the
diff the job still appears in the restore area and the disk file is not
recycled. I haven't gotten to the retention time on the base tapes yet. I
noticed that in the client setups is a retention setting also. Is this causing
the jobs to retain past the time set in the volume settings?
Bacula-dir v5.2.3 on turnkey linux.
Client {
Name = client-fd
Address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
AutoPrune = yes
Job Retention = 6 months
File Retention = 60 days
}
Pool {
Name = ITSdiff
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Retention = 7 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Maximum Volume Bytes = 5GB
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Use Duration = 23h
LabelFormat = Diff_
}
Pool {
Name = F5wk
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Retention = 30 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Maximum Volume Bytes = 5G
LabelFormat = F5_
}
Pool {
Name = F13wk
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Retention = 90 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
LabelFormat = F13_
Maximum Volume Bytes = 5G
}
Any help would be appreciated.
