See the second paragraph in the bscan manual.

I had edited the config and set Autoprune = no, however, I failed to notice
the Volume Retention parameter, I just uncommented it and gonna redo the
scan and try it again.

Thanks.

Well still didn't work. I did another bscan, this time I made sure that the
Job, storage, pools in the dir.conf had Autoprune = no and no retention
value, after bscan completed its task, I went to the console and tried to do
a restore; however, it keeps saying that there are no files found.

Any ideas? Config is below.

Thanks
