Hi,

I'm only part time involved in Bacula administration, please excuse two maybe simple questions concerning retention times.

.) I want to increase job and file retention times for existing entries. I didn't fully understand if
(a) this possible at all
(b) involves database updates (didn't find a way) or
(c) is simply a matter of updating Client or Pool resources.

.) I have the simple situation where a full backup for a job exists and since then only incremental backups where made, there are no further full backups scheduled. What happens when Job/File/Volume retention times (all the same in this case) start to expire ("prune expired volume yes" + "purge volume action=truncate allpools storage=foo" are executed)? Will new incremental backups fail as soon as the initial full backup expires?
Will the next incremental backup be upgraded to full?
Will the existing incremental backups be accessible in any way when there is no full backup any more?

thanks a lot
matthias
