Hi everyone,

If João really needs to see files list from these volumes, he can also bscan
the old volumes to re-populate the jobs and file records into the database.



João,

After modifying your pool, you need to take some additional steps:

First test config syntax - broken syntax can crash the director during
bconsole "reload", so test first after making changes.

# bacula-dir -t -c /path/to/bacula-dir.conf


In bconsole:

* reload

* update pool=poolThatWasModified   (repeat for each changed pool)

* update --> Volume Parameters -->  All Volumes from all Pools

(Ignore any "Update Failed" db errors. These are caused by pools with no
volumes in them.)


Then, list the media and pools to verify that your retention periods are what
you expect:

* list media

* show pools


After this all looks correct, (and if you really want to see the old
jobs/files), you can run bscan (see the utility.pdf manual) on all of your
volumes which have the jobs & files that you want to see in bconsole/BAT.

(Of course that will work as long as those volumes have not been re-used)


Hope this helps!

Bill
