I'm using files for Volumes, not tapes. Originally I was doing 90 day retention, but since then the amount of data to backup has increased, and I don't want to commit more file volumes (I have 13 *50G ). The backups stop when the files are full and the soonest expiration date hasn't been reached.

I tried changed the setting in the director.conf for the client to

  File Retention = 30 days            # 30 days
  Job Retention = 45 days
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

I have rebooted the client (its all localhost) and the files still show 90 day expirations , all full and the jobs don't run.

To get things running, I can manually purge the oldest, but when it starts writing to it, I still see the 90 days expiration date.

I don't actually care about the limit. I have as many volumes as I want to commit, and just want it to purge what ever is necessary when they are all filled.

What do I need to do?
