Hi
I have just upgraded to 5.0.3 to take advantage of the actiononpurge
truncate feature.
I use disk to disk to tape backup, and need to recover the disk space
asap after the copy job finishes.
Problem is that bacula will not purge a volume until it needs it, even
if the files,jobs and volume retention periods have expired. I have
monthly disk volumes i need to recover the space from for subsequent
daily and weekly jobs to use.
How can i get bacula to purge these so they can be auto truncated.
Thank you.
Dermot
