Hi,
Thanks for your instructions, I have now done the modifications and I see that
the volretention in my list volumes has been updated so I am supposing
tonight's backup will create new volumes accordingly.
Cheers
ML

Changing the configuration file for your pools is the first step.
There are a couple more steps to go:
You need to issue a "reload" command in bconsole to tell the director to
re-read its configuration files.
But, Bacula determines the settings to use from the database, so you now need
to update the corresponding database settings:
In bconsole, do:
update --> "Pool from resource" --> the Pool(s) you modified
Now, any new volumes created will be assigned the settings from the modified
Pool(s).
And finally you need to update the retention times on the volumes that already
exist:
update --> "Volume parameters" --> "All Volumes from all Pools"
you may use the list media command now to verify that the "VolRetention"
parameter (in seconds) matches what you set it to in the Pool(s) that you
modified.
and llist pools will show the VolRetention
You should run these two last commands first, prior to updating the database
to verify the current settings, and then after to verify the change.
Hope this helps!
