Hello Daniel

There are 2 parameters (File Retention and Job Retention). They are responsible to keep files and jobs in the catalog for the period you have set.

Hello Wanderlei,

alright, got it.

Prune (Autoprune = Yes) is used to clean (Files and Jobs) from catalog using the parameters (File Retention and Job Retention)

There is another parameter (Volume Retention) that is used to keep the data safe in the Volume (physical volume)

So "Volume Retention" kind of protects the volume for a specific time to not get used again, right? If this period is over the volume gets purged so every data on it is wiped out and it can be rewritten with new data thus be seen as a "clean" volume like it had been freshly created.

Bacula never delete physical volume. If you want this, is necessary to create an admin job to run a script and do this job.

Ok an admin job which runs once every x weeks shouldn't be a big problem.

Thank you very much and best regards,
