Alternative solutions with proprietary catalog data are much more inflexible. > The scenarios is this: A fileserver (1 client) with dozens of large > (size-wise) filesystems (12 jobs), but a couple of those filesystems are > large (filecount-wise).

File & Job Retention can be set in Pool resource instead of Client one. You can also try to modify the prior used manual Bacula pruning Perl script to only prune files you need and not delete the whole job <http://blog.bacula.org/whitepapers/manual_prune.pl>. Finally, you can even use dynamically generated Filesets with lower or greater file sizes to automate their backup distribution. <http://bacula.us/bacula-fileset-on-client-configuration-remote-fileset/> > Ideas? > > thanks, > Stephen > -- Regards, -- =========================================================================== Heitor Medrado de Faria | CEO Bacula do Brasil & USA | Visto EB-1 | LPIC-III | EMC 05-001 | ITIL-F • Não seja tarifado pelo tamanho dos seus backups, conheça o Bacula Enterprise http://www.bacula.com.br/enterprise/ • Ministro treinamento e implementação in-company do Bacula Community http://www.bacula.com.br/in-company/ • Compre o novo livro do Bacula http://www.bacula.com.br/livro Brazil +55 (61) 98268-4220 | USA +1 (323) 300-5387 | www.bacula.com.br ============================================================================ Indicamos as capacitações complementares: Shell básico e Programação em Shell com Julio Neves | Zabbix com Adail Host. ============================================================================ -- =========================================================================== Heitor Medrado de Faria | EB-1 Visa | LPIC-III | ITIL-F | EMC 05-001 • Check my Bacula Book at Amazon.com http://bacula.us/book • Do you need Bacula training? http://bacula.us/video-classes/ • USA +1 (323) 300-53 87 | Brazil +55 (61) 98268-4220 | http://bacula.us =========================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
