[Bacula-users] Bacula and GDPR - right to be forgotten

Hi,

The new GDPR laws coming into effect – it is being debated whether the “data erasure” section applies to backs up but from a technical point of view how are you guys deleting a person’s data from every backup e.g. for the last 60 days.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether this law effects backups of personal data as well?

I take rsync’s and mysqldumps, it seems highly impractical to go through each volume and find records and files pertaining to a particular user and remove this data from the backups somehow.

I’m just at a loss of how to comply with this using bacula…If someone comes to me and says I want all my personal data deleted, what would I do to get rid of it from every backup.

Any help appreciated!

Regards
