Hey Brock, thanks so much - that was very helpful! I would like to note that the "mass deleting script" needed some little changes to work for me. Here is what worked:
for x in $(cat /your/path/listofvolumefiles.txt) do echo purge volume=$x | bconsole echo delete volume=$x yes | bconsole rm -f /your/path/$x done Many greets Stephan IT-Abteilung Rinklin Naturkost GmbH Bruckmatten 14-18 79356 Eichstetten am Kaiserstuhl Telefon +49 7663 9394-448 s.herm...@rinklin-naturkost.de www.rinklin-naturkost.de --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geschäftsführer: Armin Rinklin, Harald Rinklin, Jochen Rinklin, Wilhelm Rinklin Registergericht Freiburg HRB 3567 - USt-ID: DE142213751 - DE ÖKO-001 -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Brock Palen [mailto:bro...@mlds-networks.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 7.

If they are disk volumes you want to go away bareos won’t delete them, So I would do purge volume=<volumename> delete volume=<volumename> rm -f /mnt/baroes/<volumename> # update for location of volumes The purge/delete is important so that baroes don’t think files exist for backup jobs. If you have a list of volumes in a file you can do: for x in $(cat /tmp/volumes) do echo “purge volume=$x” | bconsole echo “delete volume=$x” | bconsole rm -f /mnt/baroes/$x done Brock Palen bro...@mlds-networks.com www.mlds-networks.com Websites, Linux, Hosting, Joomla, Consulting > On Dec 7, 2021, at 4:24 AM, Stephan Hermann-Strauß > <s.herm...@rinklin-naturkost.de> wrote: > > Hi there, > > we just reorganized our volumes/devices/storages/pools design.
