Hello,
I'm setting a test infrastructure on Debian Squeeze. I'm using
Debian packages (5.0.2).
You can find various configuration files here:
http://www.hebergement-pro.org/bacula/
I set:
serveur:/home/www/www/bacula# grep Retention bacula-dir.conf.txt
File Retention = 3 days
Job Retention = 3 days
Volume Retention = 3 days
Volume Retention = 3 days
File Retention = 3 days
When I list jobs, I can see jobs which should have expired. Catalog
backups are correctly pruned but other ones are not.
Here are some outputs:
http://www.hebergement-pro.org/bacula/output.txt
Files backed up during these jobs cannot be listed with "list files
jobid=35". I can restore the whole job successfully (as the volume
has not been recycled yet)
When I perform a show job=Backup_Serveur (or anyone else), I have
the following strange line: JobRetention=0 secs FileRetention=11
months 16 days 4 hours 46 mins 48 secs
I never set it up
such retentions. What is that File Retention ? I don't understand
it.
By the past, I modified retention period. How does the pruning work
? is the expiration date stored into the database ? I didn't find
it.
How could I identify what is wrong in my setup ?
Best regards.
Jerome Blion.
