[Bacula-users] Rescue Disk on Version 1.36.2 from deb packages.

Hi All, Can I build the rescue disk for Version 1.36.2? I can't seem to find reference on where to get the source and build scripts to create a rescue disk for pre 1.37. A pointer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Silas =0) -

Yeah, I know. I recently changed from weekly backups to every-other-weekly backups, and haven't yet changed the retention periods. Anyway, I want them short for now, so that I'm sure they're not affecting this problem with my automatic pruning. Phil Stracchino wrote: Cameron Dale wrote:

Hi Silas, I understand it is possible to use one pool for multiple jobs/schedules/levels. But the reason why I don't use one pool is that I need to have different "Volume Retention" times. Maybe it helps if I explain what I'm trying to do. I want to use tapes for the weekly full/monthly full
