The pithy ruminations from Denny Schierz on 
<[Bacula-users] Question: Keep last backups, if next backups aren't successful>
 were:
=> hi,
=> 
=> I have just one question:
=> 
=> One backup client is now offline so Bacula can't connect to the
=> fd-client. Does Bacula keeps the last successful backups, until the
=> client comes back? Or does the purge command delete them, so that I
=> don't have any complete backup anymore in a few weeks?

The purge command will delete the backups.

I submitted a feature request to improve that in 2009 [1]. I expect that
having bacula purge the only backup for a client is a frequent, important,
but usually overlooked event, and would be worth protecting against.
