Hi the list !

I have a recurrent issue in bacula.

I specified a very long duration for job and file retention.
I sepecified Purge File = No, Purge Job = No, Purge Volume = yes
I have autoprune = yes in the pool description

I work on a volume rotation basis, one volume is kept a time according
to his pool's retention parameters.

I want to keep in base, for some jobs, all the files that are in the
volume because theses jobs are more usually used to restore some files
than the whole job.

But I still have "Puged Files = Yes" in the job run list in Bat.

I don't understand what's happenning !

Could you help me ?

How can I check that my pruning directives work as expected ?

Thank you in advance.

Hugo
Did you set these long retention times etc after you created the volumes? Those parameters are set for a volume when it's created, and are not automatically updated when you change the config and/or reload bacula. You have to issue the "update" command in bconsole and update your "pool from resource" for all pools and volume parameters "all volumes from pool". (or all volumes from all pools).

Kind regards,
Jeremy
