Hello Bacula Enthusiast,

One of my backup client has a lot of files, so we decided a year ago only to 
backup this client 2 times a year. With a file/job delete policy of 190 days. 
And this turned out to work well.

But there is one issue with housekeeping,

I have a lot of incremental backups which has no parent full backup and there 
is no need to keep them since there is a new one already.

Is there an option to prune backups when there parent full backup is  gone? If 
not is a housekeeping script the best option? Today I did it by hand (delete 
jobid=id, delete volume=volume and delete the volume file on the disk)

Thanks!
