Hi all,

I use bacula to backup my data, but also find verify jobs to be extremely useful.

However, after checking my bacula database, I noticed that none of the old verify jobs have been pruned, which is making the catalog quite big. Actual backup jobs are happily being automatically pruned.

As verify jobs do not use a storage pool, I guess the only relevant parameters are in the director's client resource. So I have this:

Client {
   Name = foo
   Address = foo
   FDPort = 9102
   Catalog = MyCatalog
   Password = "bar"
   File Retention = 60 days            # 60 days
   Job Retention = 6 months            # six months
   AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
   SD Calls Client = yes
}

And yet I can see verify jobs going way back further than 6 months - and "list files jobid=<jobid>" shows me every file.

A "prune client=foo jobs yes" seems to do the trick.

Are they supposed to be automatically pruned?

Thanks,

Mark
