Thanks Ana and good spot.

CATALOGRETENTION is the value I use for all catalog related stuff (job, file and volume), maybe is redundant...

Updated calc:

RETENTION=2 FILERETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+40))
VOLUMERETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+40))
JOBRETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+40))
CATALOGRETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+90))

Cheers
Ant

Hello Antonino,

I'm not sure I've understood your question. What does you mean by "CATALOGRETENTION"?

There are only three retention values in Bacula: File, Job and Volume. I strongly recommend you to set JobRetention less than or equal to VolumeRetention to avoid the volume to be pruned before the Job Retention has expired.

Best,
Ana

    Hello,

    I have a shell script generating my bacula configs.

    Is there any enhancements, error or whatever in calculating the
    retention period as per below?

    (it is a no-recycle scenario)

    #days to keep records in months, min 1 RETENTION=2 
FILERETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+40))
    VOLUMERETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+40))
    JOBRETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+90))
    CATALOGRETENTION=$(($RETENTION*30+90))


    thanks

    Antonino
