Hi everyone I am new t Bacula, and I have problem understanding some concepts, one of them is the idea of volumes, how they are created and VolumeRetention I do understand that it is from the backup-to-tape world, and it is basical a representation of a tape, right?? First of all, i probably should mention that i am backing up to disk, not to tape, anyways i thought that Volume retention tells Bacula how long to use a Volume and when to create a new one, i.e a VolumeRetention of 6 days means Bacula will create a new volume file to use very 6 days
But this does not seem to be the case, from what i have seen in my tests. So if I want a new volume to be created every 7 days for weekly backups(one full, 6 increments) the only directive to use is "Volume Use Duration" like "Volume Use Duration=6 days 20 hours"?? What happens to the previous volume, will restore still work as it should??
