I have now implemented the retention period settings as described in my last email. I am aware that the actual volumes do still have the old volume retention period “baked in”.Question: At what point in the life cycle of a volume is the volume retention period updated in the volume itself to the current setting in its pool?
Hello Justin, The volume retention `volretention` gets set/updated when a volume is created in a pool, or when the volume enters a pool.For the latter action, an example would be if you use the `ScratchPool` and/or `RecyclePool` settings in a pool. When Bacula pulls a volume from the defined Scratch pool and moves it to the backup pool, the volume will inherit the pool's `Volume Retention` setting - among other things.
If the volume has the old retention, and never leaves the pool, (without testing this) I am pretty confident that it will never get the new Volume Retention setting.
This is why you need to run the `update volume fromallpools` command when you make these types of changes to a pool. P.S. I always use the `fromallpools` option there since it does not hurt anything and is easy for me to remember. :) Hope this helps, Bill -- Bill Arlofski w...@protonmail.com
