Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is that I really have different retention policies depending on the server being backed up. This means that in my bacula directory configuration I need to use one pool definition per server. This has the nice aspect that I have volumes per server and can la

Hi Sven, That's actually a very nice way around my problem. The only issue here I see is that as I am using one pool/job/client/filesets/etc per server I backup, I will have to double nearly everything in my configuration. Is there maybe another alternative? or maybe is my practice of having on
