AFAIK the most important retential is the Volume one, since you can always rebuild File and Job Catalog Tables information with bscan. Job and File retentions don't prevent the Volume being recycled. However, Bacula only recycle volumes when new backups have demand to write empty ones (with stock configurations). > Regards, Regards, > William > > _______________________________________________ > Bacula-users mailing list > Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users -- MSc Heitor Faria CEO Bacula LATAM mobile1: + 1 909 655-8971 mobile2: + 55 61 98268-4220 [ https://www.linkedin.com/in/msc-heitor-faria-5ba51b3 ] [ http://www.bacula.com.br/ ] América Latina [ http://bacula.lat/ | bacula.lat ] | [ http://www.bacula.com.br/ | bacula.com.br ] _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
