I run bacula 5.2.13 on fedora 20.
In mains.pdf I read on page 21 that purged volumes can be truncated using this
runscript:
Job {
Name = "BackupCatalog"
...
RunScript {
RunsWhen=After
RunsOnClient=No
Console ="purge volume action=all allpools storage=File"
}
}
I added the runscript to bacula-dir.conf and got the following daemon message:
26-Mar 08:08 epo-dir JobId 0:
This command can be DANGEROUS!!!
It purges (deletes) all Files from a Job,
JobId, Client or Volume; or it purges (deletes)
all Jobs from a Client or Volume without regard
to retention periods. Normally you should use the
PRUNE command, which respects retention periods.
26-Mar 08:08 epo-dir JobId 0: Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
26-Mar 08:08 epo-dir JobId 0: Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
26-Mar 08:08 epo-dir JobId 0: Storage resource "File": not found
26-Mar 08:08 epo-dir JobId 0: The defined Storage resources are:
26-Mar 08:08 epo-dir JobId 0: 1: CatalogueStorage
26-Mar 08:08 epo-dir JobId 0: 2: FileStorage
26-Mar 08:08 epo-dir JobId 0: Selection aborted, nothing done.
Since nothing was done no harm was done either. But how can I make it do what
the manual says it should do? (I admit though that I may not understand the
manual correctly.)
