Is this possible?
As it seems that this is not possible, at least with Selection Type = PoolUncopiedJobs, I took another (and simple) approach: I defined exactly one "tape-pool" and set the retention periods manually per volume. This way, I have a few weekly tapes with a short retention period and a few monthly tapes with a longer retention period, all in one pool. This kind of reduces the usefullness of pools but I have found no other solution. Let's hope this works as expected (Bacula using the right tapes on the right time), any objections? ;-) Mario ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
