Re: [Bacula-users] bacula does not delete OLD files from disk

This is by design to ensure that Bacula
  never destroys good data.  On the other hand, if you run Bacula in
  the manner it was designed to run, it will reuse old volumes.
  
  In newer versions of Bacula, it is possible to tell Bacula to
  truncate volumes when they are purged.

Hello,

Bacula doesn't remove volume files. You mention you expect that Bacula
will remove volume files when retention period has expired. The
retention period is an option that is part of a big subject called
Volume Recycling.

Recycling by desing means re-using something again as a something new.

The volumes management described by you is only one from many
different volumes managements. Additionally Bacula supports data
multiplexing on volumes to enable writing few data stream.

I think that your idea is generally OK, but it could be painful for
the Bacula desing.

Best regards.

[Bacula-users] bacula does not delete OLD files from disk

I have an issue with bacula version 5.2.6 on Debian.
bacula does not delete the physical files from disk after the retention period 
has expired. I have different paths ( disks) for different bacula jobs. let's 
say the backup location for client X is under drive 1 and the backup location 
for client Y is under drive 2. when the the retention period has expired for 
one of the incremental backup of client 1, bacula  marks it purged and uses the 
lable for creating a new incremental backup for client Y under disk 2, but it 
does not delete the OLD file from the disk1. 

part of my bacula-dir configuration files related to purge:
Pool {

Name = IncrementalPool

  Pool Type = Backup

  Recycle = yes

  AutoPrune = yes

  UseVolumeOnce = yes

  Volume Retention = 1 weeks
