Hi Randy,

It all depend on how you have defined the retention.

I found a good article which explain how retention works with Bacula

http://dan.langille.org/2010/02/08/bacula-retention-periods/

Also, it worth having a look at Bacula documentation

For my understanding, even if you "delete" a client, and your retention are setup correctly, you'll not lose anything.

Hope it helps

Regards

Davide

Hi, if I remove a client that is currently on a backup schedule (full,
diff, incr) with it's retention (90 days or something like that)

so now the director issues an error "JobId 7172: Warning: bsock.c:107
Could not connect to Client:". Will it leave alone the currently

backed up jobs or will it purge them according to the retention? In this
particular case I would like it to purge them over the retention time

but in other cases I might want to lock it, in which I guess removing
the client from the director and the jobs to a different file location

should do the trick (disk backup, not tape).

Thanks in advance for any comments.
