There is a third retention type - File retention. Job Retention means how long you want to save in catalog the job execution details. When expired the catalog is updated only. Your backups are untouched and still occupy backup space. File retention is similar. Volume (media) retention means how long you want to save backup data of any kind which includes backup data on your media and all metadata in the catalog. best regards -- Radosław Korzeniewski [email protected] _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
