Hi all,
I have a question..

I have 3 different Pools,
 - daily
 - weekly
 - monthly

The daily have 6 days of "VolumeRetention", and the volume will be recicled correctly, but at the and of every Job in the log I can read:
08-ago 05:44 bacula-dir JobId 3288: Begin pruning Jobs older than 6 months

This is set on the Client definition:
Client {
  Name = xxx-fd
  Address = xxx
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = passwd
  File Retention = 30 days
  Job Retention = 6 months
  AutoPrune = yes
}

What I woul like to have is:
es. 1 - daily)
 - make the backup every day
 - when the Volumes Retention expire all the date in the catalog will purged/pruned
 - the volume will be delete (truncate) from the disk
 - a new volume will be create automatically

the same with Weekly, with 30 days of retention and Full with 180day of retantion..

What I have to put in the client definition for:
  File Retention = ??
  Job Retention = ??
This fild are optional?

If these value is lower than Volumes retention their data will stay in the catalog untill the volume will expire his retention or is reused, so I can use the script to truncate the volumes (http://www.bacula.org/5.1.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_1.html#SECTION00410000000000000000)?
