[Bacula-users] File Retention & Versioning

Hello to all the users of bacula.

At work i'm a user of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager,and i think that this product is very similiar to bacula; so at home i've implemented bacula to backup my home server and client.

I've noticed a difference between bacula and tsm about file retention : when in the TSM I define a JOB, i can set the retention period in this way :

1) - The number of the version of any file I want to have

2) - The number of the day I keep a file in the Backup after it was deleted from the client.

Example : If i set 3 version and 90 days, i have this specififc scenario :

1) - I can restore the version that currently is last backed up from the client.

2) - I can restore the 2 old version of that file (either if it was modified 2 years ago)

3) - If I've deleted the file from the client, i miss the old version, but I have 90 days left to restore the last backed-up file from the client.

In bacula i wasn't able to find a similiar settings.

I can only specify the number of the day i want the file remain in the storage-pool.

So my question is : is there any function to do this ?

What I've to do for asking to implement this specific function ?

Thanks In Advance and excuse for my bad english.
