Hello,

2013/8/20 Rickcinfl <bacula-forum AT backupcentral DOT com>
Hi. I have everything set to 30 Days and I still can't get to purge. Here is what it says after a backup

20-Aug 07:39 bacula-dir JobId 726: Begin pruning Jobs older than 37 years 8 months 2 days 11 hours 39 mins 24 secs.

Well, to be honest I think you need additional 24 Years for your purge to start working, at least. First Bacula release was Year 2000, so you cannot use Bacula longer then 13 years today. So, your retention time is more then 37 Years (see above) and you cannot use Bacula for more then 13 years, so you will need indicated earlier 24 Years... :)
 
20-Aug 07:39 bacula-dir JobId 726: No Jobs found to prune.
20-Aug 07:39 bacula-dir JobId 726: Begin pruning Jobs.
20-Aug 07:39 bacula-dir JobId 726: No Files found to prune.
20-Aug 07:39 bacula-dir JobId 726: End auto prune.

What am I missing? My Hard Drive is filling up fast.

For 37 Years retention you should need a lot of hard drive space. :)

Sorry, for my fun. You need to correct retention time, for sure or you can perform manual purge with purge bconsole command.

best regards
