I hit this again today and have to restore a full job etc.

I'd like to adjust that and so I ask it here with the full example:

I have

Client {
   Name = "samba-fd"
   Address = "samba"
   FdPort = 9102
   Password = "_xxsomepass"
   Catalog = "MyCatalog"
   FileRetention = 5184000
   JobRetention = 15552000
   AutoPrune = yes
}

(this means JobR= 180 days, FileR = 60 days, according to bacularis-GUI)

And you suggest to change it to:

   FileRetention = 15552000
   JobRetention = 15552000

?

Did that right now, just would like to hear it's done right :-)

I'll have to monitor the db-size then more closely.

thanks
