Re: [Bacula-users] Can't make "Truncate on Purge" work.

Hello Erik,

On Bacula 7.0.5 version, the "purge action="" do not exist any more. There is a new truncate command that substittutes the "purge + action="" from previous versions:

Command Description

======= ===========

truncate Truncate one or more Volumes

Arguments:

volume=<vol> [mediatype=<type> pool=<pool> allpools storage=<st> drive=<num>]

Maybe you´re trying to do this in your RunScript resource:

Console = "truncate storage=FileStorage pool=Files"

Also, in previous versions, you should specify the volume name in the command:

Console = "purge volume=myvolumename action="" storage=FileStorage pool=Files"

Best regards,

Ana

I have tried to use this feature without success. I am using Bacula 7.0.5 and
the following is the directives I use. Hopefully someone can pinpoint what I am
doing wrong:

JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Accurate = yes
Client = epohost-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Storage = FileStorage
Messages = Standard
Pool = Files
Priority = 10
}

#
# Define the main linux system back-up job
#
Job {
Name = "BackupEpohost"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Schedule = "epohost-WeeklyCycle"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/spool/bacula/epohost.bsr"
# Set up truncation of purged volumes
RunScript {
RunsWhen=After
RunsOnClient=No
Console = "purge volume action="" storage=FileStorage pool=Files"
}
}

#
# Pool definition for Virtual Machines Backups
#
Pool {
Name = Files
Action on Purge = Truncate
Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
Maximum Volume Files = 0
Pool Type = Backup
LabelFormat = "Files"
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Maximum Volumes = 50
Maximum Volume Bytes = 20g
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Volume Retention = 3 months # Three months
}
