Re: [Bacula-users] Retention period calculation

Hello Ana, I though about what you wrote and I am still wondering what would be the problem if a volume gets purged before the contained jobs retentions expire? This would remove the jobs and the corresponding files also from the catalog, ok, but where is the problem? I am Just trying to get a

Re: [Bacula-users] Retention period calculation

Hello Antonino, Please note that Job, File and Volume retention values are related to "Catalog stuff". They are the retention of the Jobs and File records in the Catalog. Bacula doesn't touch the data in the volumes unless the volume gets reused or truncated. When you prune jobs, files or volumes,

Re: [Bacula-users] Renaming SD/FD, Pools, Media...

Hello Marco, Renaming resources in Bacula is a bit complicated as it affects both configuration files and the database in some cases. Thus, it is better to create new ones and delete the old ones. Or, if it is possible for you, just drop the database, create the new resources and start with a fre

Re: [Bacula-users] Retention period calculation

Thanks Ana and good spot. CATALOGRETENTION is the value I use for all catalog related stuff (job, file and volume), maybe is redundant... Updated calc: RETENTION=2 FILERETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+40)) VOLUMERETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+40)) JOBRETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+40)) CATALOGRETENTION=$((

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula 13.0x update & Feature Question

Hello Robin, There is only one package, bacula-postgresql, that brings both the Director and Storage Daemons. You must install this package, then you can stop and disable the Director and/or the Storage Daemon in the host you will not use it. Best, Ana On Tue, Jan 24, 2023 at 1:52 PM Robin Schrö

Re: [Bacula-users] Retention period calculation

Hello Antonino, I'm not sure I've understood your question. What does you mean by "CATALOGRETENTION"? There are only three retention values in Bacula: File, Job and Volume. I strongly recommend you to set JobRetention less than or equal to VolumeRetention to avoid the volume to be pruned before t

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula upgrade

Hello Yateen, Have you already performed the upgrade? Have you checked if the Catalog version has been updated? Can you please let us know which platform you are using? I've checked the update_postgresql_tables script and it includes the upgrade from version 12-16 or 1014-1022 to 1024. Are you usi
