Re: [Bacula-users] Truncate Volumes Before Retention Time is Up

[Justin Case]

you could try this:

truncate pool=mypool storage=mystorage

Re: [Bacula-users] Truncate Volumes Before Retention Time is Up

[Chris Wilkinson]

Do I need to do this for each volume in the pool individually?

I was hoping to purge and delete all the volumes belonging to the pool as
there are quite a large number of volumes.

I guess I could script the procedure if not.

Chris.

The full backup pool/volumes of this job have a retention time of 365 
days so would not normally get pruned out for another year almost. The 
incr/diff pool/volumes have a retention time of 7days/31days respectively.


I'd like to truncate these now, delete the job resources and rm the 
actual disk volumes, deleting all traces of the defunct job.


What would I need to do to truncate these out now?

I haven't been able to find bconsole commands that would do this. I 
tried the truncate command but the volumes status remains unchanged at 
full or used or append. Thanks for any suggestions.


Fundamentally:

purge jobs volume=...
delete volume=...

then rm the file.

[Bacula-users] Truncate Volumes Before Retention Time is Up

[Chris Wilkinson]

I have an old job that is no longer needed that is consuming some disk
space that I'd like to recover. This storage for this job is on S3 cloud
and the job has full/diff/incr pools associated.

The full backup pool/volumes of this job have a retention time of 365 days
so would not normally get pruned out for another year almost. The incr/diff
pool/volumes have a retention time of 7days/31days respectively.

I'd like to truncate these now, delete the job resources and rm the actual
disk volumes, deleting all traces of the defunct job.

What would I need to do to truncate these out now?

I haven't been able to find bconsole commands that would do this. I tried
the truncate command but the volumes status remains unchanged at full or
used or append. Thanks for any suggestions.
