Hello,
I don't use Copy/Migration though I did program them and am working on
exactly
those files at the moment, so it would be better if someone from the
list answers.
Bacula doesn't have a concept of expiring jobs. I guess you mean the
retention
period has expired. Until jobs are actually pruned, Bacula will see
them in the
catalog and depending on the Copy type you use, they may be copied again
and again. If I remember right there is an UnCopied jobs which will
limit Bacula
to working with jobs that have not previously been copied.
Thanks for using Bacula.
Best regards,
Kern
