Hello dear community,

I could use some advice on the following scenario: 

The Bacula job that I have set up is ran on an HOURLY basis, the first backup being FULL and the rest that follow are all differential. What I need to know is how do I set up my job so that it deletes the previous differential jobs from the volume, after it completes the latest differential job. I need to do this in order to preserve disk space, since I do not need older differential jobs, I am only interested in the latest one, maybe latest 2 jobs even. 

If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be highly appreciated ! :) 


Hello!

I don't think you can delete files from volume and it shouldn't be done else you are in danger of losing data integrity of the whole volume.

Better consider your schedule - is it really necessary to do diffs on hourly basis? What are your retention times? How long you must keep the data?

Send your schedule, retention times and volume number and size, and let's try work something out.

Regards,
