Re: [Bacula-users] Delete Backup file w/o killing Bacula

John,

Thanks, ok I did this for all the pools that I mod. Do I need to bounce any of the Bacula services or does this apply immediately. Also how can I "clean up" the older files (those that have a date greater than 15d)? I'm worried that if I just delete them I will corrupt the catalog.

Thanks again for all the help. It's most appreciated.
