Thank you!
To simplify (for me L ) please look on the daily only.
Per configuration below I do 6 backups for a week.
My retention is on the pool level (Volume Retention = 7 days) right? On what level it should be? Or how I should define it in the pool level that I’m not doing correctly now?
Thanks,
Yariv

Hello,
My retention is pretty simple(?) I have only full backups and I need to
keep backups for
Last 6 daily backups for a week
Last 4 weekly backups for a month
Last 6 monthly backups for 6 months.
But:
1. All backups are kept for much longer without being pruned.
2. A daily backup volume is created every day but older daily backup volume
are used instead.
I run version 22.1.1~pre26.eeec2501e without any changes to defaults.
Here is an examples of my configuration:
Job {
Name = "lpsoar01_job_D"
JobDefs = "DailyJobDefs"
FileSet = "lpsoar01_fileset"
Schedule = "DailyFullCycle"
}
JobDefs {
Name = "DailyJobDefs"
Type = Backup
Level = Full
Client = bareos-fd
Schedule = "DailyFullCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = DailyFullCyclePool
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"
Full Backup Pool = DailyFullCyclePool # write Full
Backups into "Full-Pool" Pool
Differential Backup Pool = Differential # write Diff Backups into
"Differential" Pool
Incremental Backup Pool = Incremental # write Incr Backups into
"Incremental" Pool
}
Pool {
Name = DailyFullCyclePool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 7 days
Maximum Volume Jobs = 100
Label Format = Daily-
Maximum Volumes = 40
}
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,

You need 3 different pools to do this.
One that keeps your:
- 6 daily backups for a week
- 4 weekly backups for a month
- 6 monthly backups for 6 months.
From there you can decide to either:
* create different jobs to write to different pools (simpler)
* make a migration/copy of the data to the pool (a bit more complicated)
It will not work with your current configuration because the retention
works at the pool level.
Good luck.
