So, my problem is that the retention period that I defined in the pools are
applied to the client regardless of the pool where the backup job is done?
So, probably, the pool defined for a 7 days retention is pruning all files
from the backups defined to run in a different pool, eg. 4 weeks, 1 month,
5 years pools... "messing up" these jobs.
I have some clients with TiB of data, and I would like to have a list of
files to recover in a 7 days period, and every 7 days prune oldest jobs and
files. I want also that this clients backup their data to the pool of 1
month and 5y, but not saving files... so from what you said, i must define
multiple clients for every "real client".
Is it correct?
